Efada's private copy Yet another book in the series by the famed author Alvin Toffler on the changes that are imminent in the world of politic and economics. This one, published around 1990, is about the massive shift from the materials-based economy of the present to an economy in which information and knowledge will be of greater importance. This idea is of course somewhat old hat now, but at the time Toffler was writing this, the personal computer and internet revolution had not yet gathered steam. Looking at it now in 2023, one is struck by the author's prescience and deep understanding. He even mentions the possibility of the breakup of the USSR - he seems to have written this after the Tien-An-Men tragedy in China but before the USSR broke up. The main problem I have is the unreasonable size of the book (a decidedly pre-modern feature!), and the tediousness of his text - he seems to have wanted to put in everything under the sun, and sometimes he lets his specific knowledge of a particular situation to overtake his editorial good sense.

Alvin Toffler's Future Shock and The Third Wave are among the most influential books of our time. Now, in Powershift, he brings to a climax the ideas set forth in his previous works to offer a stunning vision of the future that will change your life. In Powershift, Toffler argues that while headlines focus on shifts of power at the global level, equally significant shifts are taking place in the everyday world we all inhabit--the world of supermarkets and hospitals, banks and business offices, television and telephones, politics and personal life. The very nature of power is changing under our eyes. Powershift maps the "info-wars" of tomorrow and outlines a new system of wealth creation based on individualism, innovation, and information. As old political antagonisms fade, Toffler identifies where the next, far more important world division will arise--not between East and West or North and South, but between the "fast" and the "slow." In Powershift, Alvin Toffler has formulated the deepest, most comprehensive synthesis yet written about the civilization of the twenty-first century. It is one of the most important books you will ever read. Praise for Powershift "[A] sweeping synthesis . . . by placing the accelerated changes of our current information age in the larger perspective of history, Mr. Toffler helps us to face the future with less wariness and more understanding."--The New York Times Book Review "An insightful guide to a bewildering present and a frightening future . . . thought-provoking on every page."--Newsday Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
