Synopsis

She predicted the financial crisis, Brexit and Trump. Now Pippa Malgrem shares the signals that predict the next surprise – not in the ruminations of economists and political pundits, but in the everyday world around us. Changes in fashion, the arts and the high street all provide clues, if we know how to read them. In an age of social unrest, she shows us who is building the future – and how to be part of it.
