Predicting the strategic situation of the next century

 



Mint condition. PB. 253pp. $25 including postage anywhere in Australia.

A fascinating, eye-opening and often shocking look at what lies ahead for the U.S. and the world from one of our most incisive futurists.

In his thought-provoking new book, George Friedman, founder of STRATFOR--the preeminent private intelligence and forecasting firm--focuses on what he knows best, the future. 

Positing that civilization is at the dawn of a new era, he offers a lucid, highly readable forecast of the changes we can expect around the world during the twenty-first century all based on his own thorough analysis and research. 

For example, The U.S.-Jihadist war will be replaced by a new cold war with Russia; China's role as a world power will diminish; Mexico will become an important force on the geopolitical stage; and new technologies and cultural trends will radically alter the way we live (and fight wars). 

Riveting reading from first to last, "The Next 100 Years" is a fascinating exploration of what the future holds for all of us.

A book about our future


 

Mint condition. PB. 264pp. $20 including postage anywhere in Australia.
We are in the middle of the greatest technological revolution in history.
Its epicentre lies in Silicon Valley, but its impacts are felt in all corners of the earth.
It could give all of us a better quality of life and new, more cooperative ways of living.
Or it could further entrench inequality, with even more of the world's wealth in the hands of a few.
This book offers a bold vision for ensuring that we achieve the former. A world that is fairer, less violent and most radical of all, more joyous.
Tim Dunlop spells out his ideas for reclaiming common ground systematically, arguing the case for more public ownership of essential assets, more public space, a transparent media system, and an education that prepares us for the future, not the past.
His vision for democracy and society is practical and inspiring, based on ideas about what we are doing well and what we must do better.
His is a vision for handing political power back to we-the-people so that we can stop playing defence and start changing the ground on which decisions about our lives are made.
Welcome to the future of everything....
