On average, once every seventy years, the world reaches a tipping point. Like now. Everything will change, and that is both inevitable and desirable.

In his new book ‘Everything Will Change… and for the Better’, professor of economics Koen Schoors presents his inspiring vision for the future. It is a vision of realism – only pessimists will call it optimism. Our economy and energy production will become more regional and sustainable, moving away from globalization and short-term politics. Our industry will become 100% circular, using all waste as raw material. Moreover, we are facing a unique demographic transition. The significant challenges that come with this can be solved through a combination of technology and a change in our behavior.

In short: everything is changing, and especially for the better.
