Rainy Day Economics shows what is possible if we design our economy with rainy days in mind. Covering a wide range of topics and major events - from the aftermath of 9/11 to the unstable early days of the new nation of South Sudan to the chaotic months following the 2024 Election in the United States - Rainy Day Economics offers a robust framework for how we can redesign our economy in pursuit of a more sustainable and resilient future. Author Joseph Thomas Plummer leverages an autoethnographic approach to analyze major rainy day events of the last 25 years, telling not only his story, but the story of a generation striving to create a better world. He uses first-hand experiences, supplemented with research, case studies, and stories, to build out the framework of Rainy Day Economics offering a clear path forward. He examines principles of design, sustainability, human-centered capitalism, resilience, and the power of the arts to illustrate how we can integrate Rainy Day Economics into our lives, our communities, and the societal systems that we all build, operate, and maintain together.
