A leading economist and commentator on the global scene, Sherry Cooper assesses the growth sectors of the global economy and shows how Canadians can position their careers and investments to assure financial security and prosperity. Who will be the winners and losers? Which countries are the leaders and which are the laggards, and why? What can we do to maximize our own career and investment opportunities? Dr. Cooper answers these questions and provides inspiring portraits of individuals, industries and locales in Canada that are pointing the way forward, bucking the malaise that has infected Canada and creating dynamic growth. The Internet is a major technological breakthrough that will permanently alter the course of our economic and financial future. It provides astounding opportunities for profit; it also calls into question most of our traditional business models. Every aspect of the corporate world will be affected. Those who are slow to respond will never recover their competitive advantage. This book explains what Canada can do to ride this upwave in economic activity, and upwave that will last for another twenty-five years. Whether you are just starting out, a mid-life Baby Boomer, or well into your retirement years, The Cooper Files shows how you can profit and prosper in the new millennium. This must-read book will change the course of Canadian policy. It could also change your life." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
