All very good, except I have some caveats with the two basic premisis ( ' deep fundamentals ' the the knowlege economy < maybe not wrong, but too vauge > )

Toefflers' book discusses how wealth is created in a post industrial age. Not overly well written but has the showings of some innovative thoughts.

I always seem to read their books years after they are written. This book feels like it is so current to what is going on in our world today.

Some interesting perspectives on the world today, and definitely informed me that what I see happening is not just happening in my little corner of the galaxy. I have the insight, now, into the deep fundamentals which are part of the rhythmn of the next wave, the third wave. Little did I image that what I thought I sensed was actually part of the wealth tectonic plates shift.

I've been struck recently by how we currently seem to value only what can show up on a spreadsheet. This gave me a peek at what lies beneath, where it came from and where it all could be going. Oddly, it is also rather uplifting and reassuring, which I did not expect.

This book is full of historical anecdotes, statistics and economic facts, thats the way the authors explain the main concept of the book. Although it can get a little boring at times it gave me great insight of how the world economy may be in the future. Will we still use money in a knowledge based economy? That question is still buzzing in my head.

It's one of my least favourite books of this author, nonetheless a good read.

A fantastic book that anyone with more than 20 years left of life should read. It is about the tectonic fundamental changes taking place. Those who take too long to learn the inevitable, will find difficult making sense of their surroundings.
I specially liked their take on why our present school system has failed us.

Written by the owner of the company I used to work for. May be a bit boring to people who are not interested in economics, but will definitely appeal to those who are passionate about the subject matter.

کتابی فوق العاده در مورد آینده ثروت
که هرچه زودتر باید آنرا خواند

For most of human history, man lived in autarkic (self-sufficient) communities where money and trade were greatly limited. The industrial revolution changed these conditions; it created a commodity based wealth system. The relatively new "third wave" of electronic networked knowledge-sharing is creating a new knowledge-based system of wealth. Big changes lie ahead and are occurring before our eyes. We just need to open our eyes and start thinking about the currency of knowledge.

I am reading this book now. I can see how the current crisis has come about....I knew from his previous books it would happen because the laws, regs and govt were not keeping up with the changes to technology, which created changes to communication all of which require new ways of thinking about education.

This is a very very interesting book as are all of his books along this line....it is even more imperative that children learn the skills of critical thinking and creative thinking. The existing school system is not designed for that--that is what he cxplores in this book and the previous one. IN business it was very very clear that our schools are struggling to produce good thinkers.
