The Phoenix Economy is a tour-de-force analysis of the profound and transformative years of the early 2020s, both for individuals and for the global economy. The book, written by an award-winning journalist, draws from history, economics, sociology, and popular culture to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities that emerged during this period.

The author, Salmon, describes the world we are living in as "the New Not Normal," highlighting the unusual and uncertain nature of the times we are in. The Phoenix Economy explores the ramifications of the pandemic years, many of which are surprisingly positive. Salmon makes sense of one of the most disorienting and devastating events of our lifetimes by examining the critical aspects of our lives that have been transformed in three parts: Time and Space, Mind and Body, and Business and Pleasure.

Salmon's keen observations, on everything from meme stocks to lobster rolls, are backed by a deep understanding of financial markets and the quirks of human behavior. His clear-eyed perspective on human and economic events, combined with his considerable analytical and observational skills, make The Phoenix Economy an insightful, fast-paced read.

This book is essential for anyone wanting a better understanding of the near- and long-term effects of this new era and what they portend for our lives. It provides a penetrating insight into what happened and, more importantly, what lies ahead. The Phoenix Economy is a valuable resource for policymakers, business leaders, and individuals alike, as it offers a roadmap for navigating the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
