Revolutionary wealth. Toffler

Alvin Toffler is an American sociologist and futurologist, one of the authors of the concept of "super-industrial civilization." In his main works, the thesis is being held that humanity is moving towards a new technological revolution, that is, the first wave of (agrarian civilization) and the second (industrial civilization) are replaced by a new one leading to the creation of (super-industrial) information civilization.

Toffler warns of new challenges, social conflicts and global problems that humanity will face at the junction of the 20th and 21st centuries. Read more about the author .

In the book “Revolutionary Wealth”, our 21st century is shown, in which the transition to the information age is already taking place. Consider the United States, Europe, China, Japan, India, a glimpse of Russia.

The book provides an analogy of the route on which cars rush: from cars under 100 miles per hour to crawling 10, 5 miles per hour. The former are modern business and private organizations, the latter are education, government institutions and politics. All this is an example of the United States.

In the future, each of the topics disclosed in detail. The transition from mass to individual is considered. Desynchronization of modern business and the state.

A fundamental change in education. The transition from schools that were created for the industrial wave, which trained workers for factories, to individual education.

Consumer economy, including Linus and DIY (DIY) mentioned.

With a smile, read the paragraph where the author of the book “Steal this book” was mentioned. Like, if such a book were written today, then it would be called “Steal this book and spread it on the Internet for free” (it’s strange that such a book has not been written yet).

In general, who has already re-read fiction and fantasy, who have not yet figured out in this world and have not become numb - I recommend, I really liked it. I learned a lot of new things, plus consolidated and streamlined already known things.
