Revolutionary Wealth: How it will be created and how it will change our lives

8 reviews
Alvin Toffler, Heidi Toffler

Doubleday Business, 2007

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; ...

"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 ...

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 ...

Future Wars: The World's Most Dangerous Flashpoints

2 reviews
Col. Trevor N. Dupuy, Alvin Toffler, ...

Grand Central Publishing, 1993

America's top military thinker uses a Lanchester strategy
This was a 1993 book. Dupuy thought India could take Pakistan before the Paks could use their nukes, but he thought it would be really close. Even in 1993. Now Pakistan has a cheap cruise missile and a good shot at civil war. Dupuy warns that the Intifada could block off Israeli roads and slow the IDF even if they killed 'hundreds of civilians'; which probably understates what the IDF would do.

Creating a New Civilization: The Politics of the Third Wave

Turner Pub, 1995

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 ...

War and Anti-War: Survival at the Dawn of the 21st Century

Diane Pub Co, 1993

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. ...

Cyberschools: An Education Renaissance

Glenn R. Jones

Jones Cyber Publishing Group, Inc., 1997

A Serious view of Technology in Education
In this highly-readable book, Glenn R. Jones addresses the ever-increasing demand for education at a time when funds for education are becoming increasingly scarce. He cites the increase in life-long learners, the number of students from other countries entering United State's school, and the push to increase primary literacy as reasons for this problem. Jones points out that higher ...
