Canadian economist and bestselling author Jeff Rubin visits the North York Public Library Concourse to discuss his new book, A Map of the New Normal: How Inflation, War, and Sanctions Will Change Your World Forever.
In A Map of the New Normal, Rubin warns that the shock inflation of 2021 is the front of a perfect storm of war, supply-chain disruption, geopolitical realignment, domestic upheaval, and energy scarcity that will change everything. Tracking trade wars and kinetic wars, central banks and runs on banks, pipelines blown up and startups knocked down, Rubin gives us a glimpse of a near future that will look very different from the recent past.
Author Jeff Rubin will be joined by Jennifer Hollett, executive director of The Walrus, to discuss how our mortgage rates and job security, our grocery bills and investments, are all tied to events set in motion by governments, corporations, and black swans around the world
Q&A and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.
Ticket registration for this event is required: Free tickets for this event will be available to book via Eventbrite beginning on May 9 at 9:00am ET.
