Aranjay Katakum was born into a wealthy family, studied hard and forged a pathway into world of global finance, until one day, after many years of chasing the Gods of the modern world, money and wealth, he decided that enough was enough: there had to be a better, more sustainable and happier way to live.
In Generation Hope: How inclusive economics can help us all thrive, he looks at the salient points of history, economics, political and the cultural background of the Financial world of today, the world after COVID, the World that is now facing, in so many ways change, not just in regard to the climate but to the way we do and have done business for hundreds of years.
He sets out clearly, concisely and with a good sense of humility, the well-trodden pathway of societal abuse that sees the rich get richer and the poor steadily grow poorer, holding less hope than that of many years ago, that one day they too can be a little richer.
Not a light read, but one that is full of hope Katakum explains how this situation has been allowed to grow and prosper, which incidentally is not at all accidental, and looks at the many ways that are now slowly emerging, creating vastly different ways for more sustainable, honest and far more equitable ways of doing business.
Gen X, as he often refers to the generation that are taking to task the traditional ways of wealth creation, is now seeing a slow swell of community minded companies and corporations begin to blossom and grow.
In many ways the two defining years of COVID highlighted the massive social differences that occurred over this frustrating and disruptive time. While the workers and very small enterprises slowly lost financial ground, the major companies and corporations seemed to gain ever more wealth.
The flow on effect was that many people reviewed how they went about achieving their goals thus creating a must needed beginning for change. As he succinctly says ‘little by little our consciousness is already shifting, especially among millennials and younger generations’
It is with hope for brighter, far more hopeful future, he sends out what could be a clarion call to change a traditional mindset of scarcity and survival, to one of abundance and thriving. A big ask, a tall order maybe, but one, with grit, determination and hope can succeed and definitely make the future a better far more kind, aware and far better place to live.
There is an excellent section at the Conclusion of the book with further details on Groups and Foundation that can assist you on your journey towards establishing an equitable, community based Company or business based on wholistic principals.
