The Longevity Imperative
If this book had an alternate title in draft form, Andrew J.Scott’s The Longevity Imperative (2024) could be aptly titled An Evergreen Agenda, a concept borrowed from the nature of an evergreen plant, carried throughout the book as Scott unfolds social innovations for a society charting its way, making for a better, as he says “universally and continually relevant” longer life. In wide-ranging coverage, the economy discussion moves from where we’ve been, to where we’re at and where we could be, looking at health systems, the science of aging, (including current geroscience research investments), economics and economic dividends of an older workforce, personal finances and pensions.
