Conference Room B

A monthly book discussion.

Discuss The Age of Decay: How Aging and Shrinking Populations Could Usher in the Decline of Civilization by Shamil Ismail.

Connecting seemingly unrelated instances of essential worker shortages around the world, investment analyst Shamil Ismail builds a compelling and well-researched narrative explaining why aging populations and falling birth rates are leading to a shrinking pool of essential workers in developed countries, which could massively disrupt their societies.
