He argues that many of the forces destabilizing modern societies--from widening inequality and financial speculation to political discontent and environmental excess--are symptoms of a profound transition: we have created an economic system extraordinarily good at producing wealth, but have yet to build institutions capable of managing its abundance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on economics, history, politics and philosophy, Chandler shows how earlier surpluses transformed civilizations--and argues that today's surplus gives us an opportunity to do so again. Provocative and ultimately hopeful, \u003ci\u003eSurplus\u003c\/i\u003e asks what comes after scarcity, and how we might build a society that measures progress not simply by how much wealth it creates, but by what that wealth makes possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc Chandler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prometheus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493096657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarc Chandler\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the most highly respected and widely quoted currency experts in the United States today, with more than three decades of experience analyzing the global capital markets and advising private businesses, hedge funds, and major public institutions on policy and market behavior.
