2. The coronavirus pandemic in year 2020 has struck hard on the global economy. One way or
another, 2021 is likely to be the year when the world transitions to the next normal. As executives take
stock of what's just happened, and what's to come, they won't go far wrong by considering the effects of
certain trends on the global economy, business, and society. First up in the next normal: "revenge
shopping" as many consumers open their wallets for goods and services they've done without recently.
Other trends to ponder-none traditionally associated with recessions--include startling growth in the
number of new businesses, an incredible rise in productivity, permanent changes in consumer behavior,
and the "bio revolution," which may soon create different mcchanisms of production for 60 percent of
the global economy's plhysical inputs. One thing's for sure: 2022 won't look anything like 2019.
