Si buscas un libros donde profundicen en los conceptos que se ven te estás equivocando de concepto y de libro.
La idea principal de Señales, de Jeff Desjardins es crear un impacto visual muy fuerte al lector por medio de gráficos y diseños muy coloridos y atractivos al ojo sobre las tendencias que moldean el rumbo de la economía mundial.
Lo que mas me ha gustado este libro es la capacidad que tiene para transmitir la información relevante y explicar procesos y abordar conceptos aparentemente complejos, desde una perspectiva divulgativa visual, directa y concisa.
Otros punto muy favorable es la cantidad de fuentes de información qué se emplean y de gran calidad.
¿Algún punto negativo?
Quizá habría que haber profundizado un poco más en secciones como el comportamiento del consumidor (desde mi punto de vista como experto en marketing e investigación de mercados) o en la sección de escasez de agua y electrificación. En general, no se profundiza demasiado en todo el libro, pero en estos conceptos se habría agradecido una mayor profundidad o descripción.
En líneas generales, un libro altamente recomendable y muy útil para cualquier apasionado de la economía, mercados, marketing o cualquier disciplina relacionada con este tema.

Wizualizacja danych na świetnym poziomie. To intrygująca mapa globalnych trendów, fajna do tego, aby budować ciekawość świata i dopytywać (w innym źródłach) o szczegóły. Fajny pomysł na prezent.

The best coffee table book you'll ever buy. Beautifully illustrated book that talks about the trends of the future in several categories including energy, media, finance, politics, food, wealth inequality and geopolitics. Took many notes on this and it's so beautifully designed that showing this to anyone will have be super impressed with you. Thanks to Wallace for the recommendation, great stuff!
Some notes I took:
Falling fertility rates because of later marriages and less addition to workforce
The world is getting older
Tax revenues need to be higher to offset the impact of aging
Massive migration around the world to cities
Asia and Africa will see the largest growth in cities
Cities of the future will be smart, new and super-sized
Income has become more evenly distributed across the global population
Massive increase in global middle class (China and India will see biggest increase in middle class)
Decentralization of media - loss of authority and quantity > quality of content
Each person/brand is their own media company
Death of local news, disruption of traditional media world and less trust in media
Big tech has become gatekeeper to exposure and monetization
Rising wealth inequality
Since 1990, wealth of top 10% increased by trillions but bottom 50% is stagnant
Rich people own assets in the stock market where the poor don’t participate
Wealth gap shows little signs of shrinking
Likely see increase taxes and shift to unionization in next several decades
