COLLEGE PARK, Md., May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The 18th annual Summer Reading List for Business Leaders from the University of Maryland's Robert H.

2030: How Today's Biggest Trends Will Collide and Reshape the Future of Everything by Mauro Guillen: "The book outlines the major trends of today and shows how their interplay will determine our future. Some of the trends will feel familiar, but when Guillen gets into a discussion of the nuances, one finds oneself frequently surprised. For instance, by 2030, more than half the world's wealth will be owned by women, and much of the world's population growth will come from Africa. There is fascinating data, but also multiple powerful stories that bring the numbers to life. It outlines challenges we will face but also illustrates the kind of thinking that will allow us to rise to the challenges. 2030 is not so far away. We will be living and working in that future and need to prepare for it today. This book will be a useful guide for this." —
