Knowledge, Wealth, and Violence at the Edge of the 21st Century.
Alvin Toffler brings to a climax the ideas he set forth in his previous books 'Future Shock' and 'The Third Wave', offering a stunning vision of the future that will change your life. He 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 outline 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 this book, Alvin Toffler has formulated the deepest, most comprehensive synthesis yet written about the fast-arriving civilisation of the 21st century. It is one of the most important books you will ever read.
