Among these imagined scenarios for the future of Europe is a vision of 2050 in which the European Union has been dismantled; Western Europe has become Islamic and has tied itself economically, politically, and culturally with Northern Africa and Turkey to become Eurabia; and in Middle and Eastern Europe, a New Europe has arisen, where non-Islamic migrants from Western Europe have found salvation. This gripping discussion of Europe's future and its impact on the rest of the world analyzes seven key trends, or "megatrends," that will radically reshape European business, culture, people, thinking, beliefs, countries, and cities over the next 50 years. Providing insight into the new social, political, and economic landscape of Europe, this futuristic study explores current challenges in the development and marketing of products and services to provide a glimpse into the future of the New Europe.

The current deep economic crisis signifies a pivotal transition, encapsulated in the Chinese concept of crisis as both danger and opportunity. In this insightful work, renowned futurologist Adjiedj Bakas guides readers through the New Great Depression of the 21st century, illustrating the natural ebb and flow of the economy with its inherent dangers and opportunities. He anticipates a new kind of Boom following this period of Doom, distinct from any previous experience. This crisis marks the end of an era and the dawn of a new one, representing the fifth major economic crisis in 200 years, all occurring during significant transitions. Historically, the 1930s saw fortunes made amidst adversity, giving rise to new industries like art deco and mass communication. The 1980s crisis birthed the personal computer, mobile phone, and Internet, reshaping the economic landscape. Today, we bid farewell to the 20th century, entering a post-material economy characterized by digital collaboration and cloud computing. This era positions China as the new global powerhouse, with globalization evolving into slowbalization, emphasizing the Economy of Happiness. This transition period is ripe with opportunities for individuals to embrace and navigate the changing landscape.
