Excelente libro, muy amplio y algo complicado de leer ya que entra a profundidad en diversidad de temas y Alvin es un hombre muy culto que puede desarrollar temas que van desde el socialismo a la nanotecnología,pasando por explicar la energía potencial de la luna(helio).Veo complicado resumir este libro en unas cuantas palabras,les recomiendo leerlo si te gusta la economía y deseas conocer como está nueva economía del conocimiento cambiará todo lo sentado hasta ahora en nuestra vida,economía,teorías,vida,costumbres etc etc.

از آن دسته کتاب‌هایی بود که مدتی در قفسه منتظر ماند تا خوانده شد. اما تاسف خوردم که چرا زودتر آن را تمام نکرده بودم
شگفتی تحلیل دقیق تافلرها تا آخر کتاب متحیرم نگه داشته بود
اثری بسیار ارزشمند بود

Tiring. Keeping focused while looking for Toffller's new meme is real work.

A quick look into digital impact for circular economy and how humankind might react upon the new "thread/wish" of disparities reduction...

Very hard to get through. If you are in education you should read this. Very eye opening.

The book does a good job of cataloguing the various forces, trends and issues driving changes in the world today. But the information is presented in a rambling fashion without much focus - this may have to do with the fact that it was written over several years. In a sense, the book is a collection of news articles and new developments.

I am reading this book now by Toffler, who wrote "Future Shock". This is an impressive followup, where he details concepts such as the "prosumer" who is actively involved in creating wealth that transcends money. It was recommended by a friend who is a health care futurist and I now understand why. Old models of wealth from the agrarian and industrial epochs are being rapidly replaced with knowledge. He offers insight into this very rapid change. Highly recommended!

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.

A book that really opens your eyes to how the relation of money with time and effort has changed and how to be prepared for a world which is increasingly moving at a faster pace

I have liked Alvin Toffler's previous books, and this one is no exception. Very thought provoking and far-reaching in it's analysis. Looks toward the future and paints a picture of what could be coming.

Many of the same ideas from PowerShift, expanded towards wealth, poverty, and truth management
