Examines the effects of rapid industrial and technological changes
upon the individual, the family, and society.
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 created--and who
will get it--in 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 jobs"--work 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
activities--from parenting and volunteering to blogging, painting
our houses, and improving our diets--contribute 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.
