Good book
Here are my notes The government was the great accelerator. Because of its coercive power and tax revenues, it could do things that private enterprise could not afford to undertake. Government could hot up the industrialization process by stepping in to fill emerging gaps in the system - before it became possible or profitable for private companies to do so. Government could perform ...

Revolutionary Wealth

Toffler provides a profound perspective on the "knowledge economy"
I personally take issue with the fact that Alvin Toffler is criticized for trying to "predict" the future - he is a trend researcher, and Revolutionary Wealth is about the tech-driven trends that are colliding to create our very new reality. Economists have been struggling to wrap their old models around the knowledge economy for some time, and Toffler brings much of this discussion down to ...

Core Reading on Future of Warfighting AND Peacekeeping
900 copies of this book were handed out at OSS '94 when the Tofflers were our keynote speakers, and it's hard for me to do anything other than praise a book with a chapter on "The Future of the Spy" built around the concept of making better use of open sources of information. With that disclosure, I will offer the observation that this book, which has gotten enormous attention within the U.S. ...

Something mean to be happen!
The book, Creating A New Civilization, is really something to me. Without reading Alvin's Future Trilogy, this book provide me a big picture of what the world gonna be. Some chapters are more interesting to me, chapter 3 is one of them. Alvin trying to define the new position of Knowledge in the third wave with a brief chapter. And I think they did it well. How they define Knowledge is ...

"To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill"
Over the years I have read several of Toffler's excellent books.He has a marvelous talent to put logical thinking to work and reveal what is really happening right before our eyes;and most of all,explain it.It seems that it is a case of that old adage "can't see the woods for the trees."Any reader of Toffler is well aware of the First,Second and Third waves;and what he does in this book is to ...

The History of the Future
After reading The Deviant's Advantage, Media Virus, and a little bit of what Faith Popcorn wrote I wanted to find the source of their wisdom. Aside from personal experience, where do a lot of our ideas come from? I think one of those sources is a visionary named Alvin Toffler. Even though this book was written in 1971, it is still totally relevant. I you want to know where society is headed ...

The Masters, Parents to us All, Confirm Hope from Knowledge
Amazon appears to have eaten a review I created when this book first came out. I have been a fan of the Tofflers since I was first introduced to their work in the 1970's. Although they were ahead of everyone else with their book Powershift: Knowledge, Wealth, and Power at the Edge of the 21st Century, which I described at the time as one of the top five books on the future of knowledge, ever; ...

Fifteen years later A different world. Toffler as the author of 'Future Shock'
Toffler is the man who gave the world ' future shock'. He is one of the principal popularizers in helping the broader public understand the social implications of scientific and technological changes. The pace is too fast, taught Toffler, for our bodies and minds to really keep up. Having shocked the world with 'Future Shock' and tried to revolutionize our thinking with 'The Third Wave' Toffler ...
