Description
As there are several non-fiction books with similar titles, such as The World in 2050: Four Forces Shaping Civilization’s Northern Future by Laurence C. Smith and The World In 2050: How To Think About The Future by Hamish McRae, a precise description depends on the specific book you are asking about. Here are descriptions for two prominent books with “The World in 2050” in their title. 
Description of The World in 2050: Four Forces Shaping Civilization’s Northern Future by Laurence C. Smith (2010)
This book examines four “megatrends”—demographic growth, resource demand, globalization, and climate change—and predicts that by 2050, the countries in the Arctic Rim will become the new global powerhouses. 
  • The rise of the Arctic: Smith argues that as climate change melts Arctic ice, countries like the U.S., Canada, Russia, and Scandinavian nations will gain access to valuable new shipping routes and abundant natural resources, leading to increased prosperity.
  • The struggle of the tropics: Conversely, he predicts that countries near the equator will face increasing challenges, including overpopulation, water shortages, and flooding from rising sea levels.
  • A geographical argument: Smith combines geographical and historical analysis with scientific data and economic projections to support his theory, including firsthand accounts from his travels throughout the Arctic region. 
Description of The World in 2050: How to Think About the Future by Hamish McRae (2022)
This book is a comprehensive look at the forces driving global trends and how to thoughtfully prepare for the future, rather than just passively observing it. 
  • A “history of the future”: McRae draws on decades of research and combines economic judgment with a historical perspective to weigh up the opportunities and dangers humanity faces over the next thirty years.
  • Analyzing forces of change: He examines how complex factors like technology, shifting demographics, environmental challenges, finance, and governance will affect global society.
  • A guide for planning: The book offers a “bold and illuminating vision of the future” designed to be a vital guide for anyone concerned about what lies ahead. It argues that by understanding the forces of change, we can be in a better position to secure our future.
