Brilliant to see #LongevityImperative shortlisted for the FT Schroders Business Book of the Year Award #BBYA24. Adapting to longer lives and avoiding fears of an ageing society is key priority for individuals + society. Fingers crossed for 9 December! ft.com/content/27f60e…

Saw some wonderful presentations at the "Macroeconomic Implications of Health and Illness" workshop held at London Business School on Monday that Andrew J Scott and I organised. A quick thread.

I recently gave the Annual Lecture to the Office of Health Economics on the Economic case for shifting to preventative health. The recording is now up and live: vimeo.com/1017917531 #longevity #preventativehealth #healthspan

Thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Martin Wolf from the Financial Times for his “The Economics Show” where we discussed the macro issues around an #ageingsociety and the importance of adapting and the required policies ft.com/content/8ce057…

We are always told that age is just a number which raises the question – what number? How do we measure ageing and how ‘old’ someone is? Great to see Sarah O'Connor Financial Times tackle this issue in her article ft.com/content/7b2113… Cited work w/ Rainer Kotschy & David Bloom

The #LongevityImperative (profandrewjscott.com/the-longevity-…) came out last year and is now in paperback (amzn.eu/d/hV4pxPS). If interested on the topic, here is my podcast with Martin Wolf on economic and social issues around harnessing longer lives (ft.com/content/8ce057…).

We have reframed an ageing population wrongly. The Longevity Imperative argues it's a triumph of the 20th century—and a major 21st-century opportunity. Now out in paperback: amzn.eu/d/3OntzqG. Great FT review by Stephen Cave: ft.com/content/954808…

The Longevity Imperative explores how we must adapt to an aging society—individually and collectively. Now in paperback: amzn.eu/d/9POdtZs. This Atlantic piece by Jonathan Rauch dives into why it matters: bit.ly/4aWoVJz

Delighted the IMF as part of their World Economic Outlook focused on demographic change and not just the usual tale of doom and gloom but also what can be done to support individuals, society and the economy age better. Listen to conversation here: youtu.be/musZoIF-1Uc?si…
