BOOK SYNOPSIS
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 createdand who will get itin 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 jobswork 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 activitiesfrom parenting and volunteering to blogging, painting our houses, and improving our dietscontribute 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.
BOOK REVIEWS
In Future Shock, the Tofflers warned that many people will find it increasingly painful to keep up with the incessant demand for change that characterizes our time.These days, from Baghdad to Bangalore to Boston, it seems more likely that people worry that the future will arrive too late. Thats no small change, and its one on which the Tofflers have been shining a light for years. The New York Times Book Review
Alvin and Heidi Tofflershow no signs of losing touch with the bleeding edge or slowing down. Their book is loaded with bits of intelligence. USA TODAY
