MasterClass Announces The New Rules of Wealth to Help Members Find Opportunity

Teaches how to interpret the economic signals shaping industries, jobs and technological disruption

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MasterClass, the personalized learning platform unlocking human potential with the world's best, today announced the launch of The New Rules of Wealth. The class is taught by Erik Brynjolfsson, Stanford professor and director of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, Dambisa Moyo, global economist and Fortune 500 board director and Michelle Meyer, chief economist at the Mastercard Economics Institute. Together, they examine how AI is reshaping the global economy and what those changes mean for industries, careers and the future of work. The class is available now exclusively on MasterClass, where subscribers have unlimited access to 200+ instructors with an annual membership.

The New Rules of Wealth is both a guide to the AI economy and a practical roadmap for individuals navigating change, protecting their livelihoods and finding new opportunities. "This class is like an economic map for the moment that we're in. The goal is for members to be able to navigate this map," said Meyer. The instructors explain how falling costs for digital tools are accelerating new businesses, why some roles will be automated while others will be augmented, and how individuals can identify the skills and opportunities that will remain valuable in the AI-driven economy.

Lessons include:

• Shift to Digital Power: Shows how the global economy is moving from physical goods to digital assets such as software and data. Members see how AI tools now allow individuals to create marketing plans, design logos, draft contracts and build products that once required entire teams.
• Redefine Human Value: Looks at how AI is changing the nature of work. Members will learn how to distinguish between tasks AI can automate and those it can augment, and why judgment, creativity and communication are becoming more valuable than ever. "It's not about AI replacing the human worker, it's about AI becoming a complement to the human worker," said Moyo. "This is really important because the responsibility is on us to continue to build the tools and understanding of how AI works."
• Invest Now, Win Later: Breaks down why major technological shifts often reward those who adopt new tools and skills early. Brynjolfsson and Moyo outline how lower costs for computing and AI have opened new opportunities across industries.
• Create Leverage: Demonstrates how digital tools empower individuals and small teams to build scalable products and services—from apps to automated workflows—that can reach global audiences.
• Choose Your Market: Examines how AI and digital platforms are concentrating opportunity in specific industries and niches, helping members identify where demand, innovation and investment are growing.
• Shape Your Advantage: Focuses on how people can stay competitive as industries and roles evolve. Members gain strategies for adapting to AI-assisted workflows and continuing to build valuable skills as technology changes.

"We're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in history," said Brynjolfsson. "In this class, members learn how AI is reshaping industries and jobs, how to recognize where economic value is moving and how to identify the skills and opportunities that will matter most in the years ahead."

The New Rules of Wealth joins AI and Medicine: Your Secret to Better Health; Achieve More With AI; and AI Strategy at Work, expanding MasterClass's growing slate of AI-focused offerings.
