當我們總是試圖預測未來，《Same As Ever》提醒我們，真正有價值的不是變化，而是不變。暢銷書作者摩根・豪塞爾透過24則精彩故事，深入剖析那些無論十年、百年後依然如故的人性、行為與商業法則。無法預測的事件固然令人焦慮，但了解「什麼永遠不變」，反而能幫助我們更清晰地看待風險、機會與決策。這是一本教你在混沌未來中保持清明，在變動中找到穩定的智慧之書。當你再次看見歷史重演，你將會會心一笑地說：「沒錯，又是老樣子。」When planning for the future we often ask, "What will the economy be doing this time next year?"
