Daniel Altman offers an essential panorama of the economy with a focus suited to each audience. From the challenges facing global economic superpowers to forecasting growth and labor markets in specific industries, Daniel brings a deep understanding built on decades of experience analyzing big data and trends. He places the everyday concerns of executives and managers into the broader context of the economy to create a clear-eyed and coherent view of the future.

Daniel Altman's international bestseller, Outrageous Fortunes: The Twelve Surprising Trends That Will Reshape the Global Economy, was an incredibly prescient look at the economy. A decade after its publication, virtually all of his predictions – from China's economic slowdown to the breakup of the European Union, from the rise of remote work to the world's failure to confront climate change – have come true. What does he predict for the decade to come?

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence have captured the imagination of some people while making others fear for their jobs. Yet, as Daniel Altman explains, the effects of AI on the labor force are likely to be subtler and more complex than they might first appear. As an expert on the use of technology in the labor market, he has special insights into the consequences of AI across specific sectors and the broader economy.

Daniel Altman is one of the pioneers in analyzing the new portfolio approach to staffing. As the labor market transforms itself across both space and time, companies are getting to grips with the notion that traditional full-time jobs may soon be a thing of the past. However, this transformation can have huge benefits, too, for companies that diversify their options in the labor market to reduce multiple risks.

Having researched and written extensively on the many new modalities in the labor market, Daniel Altman has a unique and valuable perspective on the strategies businesses use to recruit and keep workers. Using underlying trends in the workforce, he identifies untapped sources of labor as well as those with diminishing returns. He also draws on exclusive data from surveys and labor market transactions to gauge the success of a wide range of approaches, from increases in pay and bonuses to training, benefits, flexible schedules, team building and even commuting time.
