Since the mid-1960s, Alvin and Heidi Toffler have predicted the far-reaching impact of emerging technological, economic, and social developments on our businesses, governments, families, and daily lives. In REVOLUTIONARY WEALTH, they once again demonstrate their unparalleled ability to illuminate current trends and anticipate what they mean for the future. REVOLUTIONARY WEALTH focuses on how wealth will be created—and who will get it—in the twenty-first century. As the knowledge-based economy (a reality the Tofflers predicted forty years ago) continues to replace the industrial-based economy, they argue, money is no longer the sole determinate of wealth. The Tofflers explain that we are becoming a nation of “prosumers,” consuming what we ourselves produce, and argue that we have all taken on “third jobs”—work we unwittingly do without pay for some of the biggest corporations in the country. Using fascinating examples from our daily lives, they illustrate how our everyday activities—from parenting and volunteering to blogging, painting our houses, and improving our diets—contribute to a non-monetary economy that is largely hidden from economists. Writing with the same insight and clarity that made their earlier books bestsellers, the Tofflers present fresh, groundbreaking new ways of thinking about wealth.

Future Shock is the disease of change. Its symptoms are already here. Future Shock tells what happens to people overwhelmed by too rapid change. Future Shock looks at the human side of tomorrow. Brilliantly disturbing, it analyses the new and dangerous society now emerging and shows how to come to terms with the future.

Citing the millions of lives that have been lost during Cold War conflict, a study predicts where and how future wars will be fought and present a paradigm for peace through technology, communication, and human innovation. Reprint.

"This book is a meeting place of minds. It provides a unique opportunity to gain insights into tomorrow from today's most highly-regarded business thinkers." "Rethinking The Future is about a world of increasing uncertainty in which the very nature of work, of organizations and of economics is changing. It is about the move away from traditional hierarchies and the democratization of power. It is about giant nation states and corporations giving way to global networks. Tomorrow's executives will need to understand business at a far more global and synergistic level than ever before, and to feel comfortable leading people who have learned to manage themselves. This is a book for those executives." "The book looks at how organizations can be redesigned to survive and thrive in tomorrow's hyper-competitive global environment. How they can learn to adapt to change and dramatically improve their performance. And how they should be 'managed', if at all." "Most importantly of all, the book gives readers a framework for understanding the big picture. It provides a panoramic perspective that puts all the pieces together in a coherent and easily understandable context. In fact, it represents an entire bookshelf condensed between two covers - a business education for the 21st Century. Rethinking The Future is essential reading for anyone concerned with business success beyond the next quarter."--Jacket
