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 > )
بعضی از رخدادهای دهه گذشته و اطلاعاتی که به تاریخ اقتصادی و اجتماعی کشورها در صده گذشته وجود دارد را با هم در آمیخته و با توجه به این واقعیتها معانی جدیدی برای مصرف کننده و تولید کننده و قدرتهایی که در این زمینه فعالیت دارند را شرح داده و سعی در ایجاد دیدگاه یا اصطلاحی جدید به نام تولیصرف دارد.
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.
Obligation for everyone who wants to know why mankind are at level in the moment.I found many answers of questions which are challenge interest in me.In some moments Toffler enters in deep economy terms which I cannot understand it.Undoubtedly I will re-read some parts of this book when I accumulate more economic theory in my head.
This book is really, really good for the first two-thirds. then it gets repetitive. It was a chore to finish; the ideas were told again and again. It needed an editor badly.
That said, it was a clear-eyed analysis of the Information Age. I found it very useful in clarifying my thinking and in recognizing some trends I had not previously articulated or even noticed. Definitely worth the read.
I really liked the way how he puts the Prosumer (producer+consumer) concept as this is what behavioral economists along with me see as something what should be known and taught more at universities. I am definitely going to elaborate the grey economy more in my further studies. It also opened other new interesting topics to study to me and what I really appreciate is the overall optimism, that really made me to think about both the future threats and the opportunities constructively instead of being pessimistic about the forthcoming turbulent social, political and economical changes.
This book holds vital information to understanding our shift towards a Knowledge Era. For me it's bridging the conceptual gap between the Singularity and my Daily Life and Work
Thought provoking work that reads like a series of extended essays, the purpose being to show a true state of science, business and economics today and where it is headed. It does a great job of explaining how Japan rose to the top in electronics and computer field, and why China may very well be the next economic superpower. It also evaluates how the United States was able to stake a claim as the current economic superpower and why it may not hold on to that title for much longer. The book also evaluates how our education system and ways of thinking about business are outdated, conveniently modeled after the industrial age of our country while ignoring that we're no longer living in that age, but have evolved into a knowledge age. Our regimented schedules are becoming more flexible. Specialists are learning to customize alternatives. The assembly line factory consistency no longer thrives, and yet our schools are still training students for a past era. Very informative.
