Bloomsbury presents The 100 Trillion Dollar Wealth Transfer by Ken Costa, read by Justin Avoth.

‘A thought-provoking read.’ -- Financial Times

'Everybody in finance and wealth management should read this book – as soon as possible.' -- Alec Marsh, Spear's Magazine

An insider's look into how Generation Z's focus on ethics, climate change and purpose will change capitalism forever.

In the next ten years there will be an unprecedented wealth transfer from the so-called ‘baby boomer’ generation to the young. Never before will so much money – in housing, land, stocks and cash – be shifted so suddenly from one generation to the next, and never before does the next generation feel so differently about the future of the planet.

As an investor in this new generation Ken Costa shows how environmental concerns and anxiety about equality and diversity are more than mere slogans; they are driving the future of the markets. So many issues stem from the financial gap between age groups – from cancel culture and fears about wokeness, to Generation Rent, protest movements and re-evaluations of history around subjects such as empire. Costa shows how we can build a more inclusive, purposeful capitalism, shifting focus away from the individual and more towards collaboration, compassion and community.

This book shows us what the future of capitalism looks like, and demonstrates how boomers must work with the inspiring young, who see their mission not just to increase value for shareholders, but also to save the planet.

Critic reviews

A valuable exploration of the topic and a thought-provoking read.
Everybody in finance and wealth management should read this book – as soon as possible.
Ken Costa’s provocative and hope-filled book is for anyone who wants a more inclusive capitalism.
Costa indicates a sustainable path towards a new form of capitalism, one in which the old and younger generations work in partnership, sharing knowledge and learning from each other, to save our planet.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book as a razor-sharp yet compassionate attempt to resolve the clash of generations.
An illuminating and prophetic exploration.
A gripping and insightful testimony of how intergenerational harmony and wisdom is essential for a thriving world.
[Ken Costa] makes a convincing case on the need for a change in attitudes and working practices... The arguments considered in this book need to be taken seriously by business leaders, executives and managers.
“A generation without capital can never be capitalists.” This quote from the book captures well the generation gap that lies at the heart of this timely book that also importantly sets out what can be done about it.
Ken’s insights challenge us to realise the huge wealth shifts, value shifts, technology shifts, and age shifts before us as we face up to the enormous inter-generational transfers from Boomers to Zennials. This book helps us bridge these generational gaps. What really matters is ‘CO’, as we co-lead our co-llectives to co-create generational trust towards a shared prosperity and destiny that spans generations.

Most relevant
The irony of this audiobook is it's about the great clash between Boomers and Zillenials, to be resolved by them working together, But it comes across as a Boomer telling Zillenials what to do, a last-gasp attempt to stay relevant. Ken Costa seems to have extrapolated his interactions with younger people as typical of two entire generations. Sat in the middle of these cohorts is Generation X, my generation, which is mentioned twice in the entire book, each time as an aside. I mean if you really do want to bridge the divide, wouldn't the generation in between be the one with a foot in each camp? The reality is nobody is going to change or do anything, it's just a talking shop. Boomers will gradually disappear and as always that will be on the terms of the young, not the old.
