What if technology didn’t replace us but empowered us? What if wealth generated by AI and automation uplifted everyone, rather than enriching a privileged few? What if the economy put people—not profits—at its heart?

In Peopleism: A New Economic Dawn, visionary author Ashfaq presents a bold and transformative blueprint for the future of our economy. Building on the ideas from his groundbreaking first book, Everything People: A New Economic System for Our Future, Ashfaq tackles the pressing challenges of AI, automation, and wealth inequality with an innovative solution: Peopleism.

Through the engaging conversations of Atif, a technologist, and Sarah, an economist, this book brings to life a practical, peoplecentric economic model that balances innovation with equity,

replaces destructive competition with meaningful collaboration, and decouples income from labor. Drawing from realworld examples and using India as a case study, Peopleism outlines actionable steps to transition to a fairer, more inclusive economy where technology serves humanity, empowers communities, and fosters shared prosperity.

Be ready to witness the shared and equitable future with Peopleism.
