Wordfest Presents Jeff Rubin

Wednesday 22 May 2024 - Wordfest presents bestselling author and economist Jeff Rubin and his new book A Map of the New Normal: How Inflation, War, and Sanctions Will Change Your World Forever. Tracking trade wars and kinetic wars, central banks and runs on banks, pipelines blown up and start-ups knocked down, Rubin gives us a glimpse of a near future that will look very different from the recent past. It reminds us that 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. The in-depth conversation, hosted by Shelley Youngblut, Wordfest’s CEO and Creative Ringleader, will include an audience Q & A and book signing. Thank you to Owl’s Nest Books, who will be on site with copies of Rubin's book, as well as his backlist. - Event Details
