Revolutionary Wealth: How it will be created and how it will change our lives
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.
At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.
This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

Brilliant Book
For readers who are not familiar with Alvin Toffler, this is not another one of those "how to get rich" titles. Alvin Toffler is known for writing about social and economic trends. In one sentence, this book tells us what is happening in the...

The Masters, Parents to us All, Confirm Hope from Knowledge
Amazon appears to have eaten a review I created when this book first came out. I have been a fan of the Tofflers since I was first introduced to their work in the 1970's.

Good digest of economics, geopolitics, and technology
Writing about societal trends has gotten tougher since the Tofflers published "Future Shock" nearly four decades ago. Aside from the fact that things are moving faster and getting more complicated, the authors also must compete with the vastly...
