Powershift: Knowledge, Wealth, And Power At the Edge of the 21st Century
Seller: Book Haven, Wellington, WLG, New Zealand
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Fair. Knowledge, not violence nor money, is the essence of power in the information age, claims Toffler ( Future Shock ) as he observes 'info-wars' raging in such arenas as computers, high-definition TV, electronic networks, and industrial espionage, and the fight for control of customer data by retailers, manufacturers, banks and credit-card issuers. He hails the emerging 'flex-firm,' a company open to many types of free-form 'counterbureaucratic' organization. Toffler credits junk-bond salesman Michael Milken with making finance more competitive and less monopolistic. Assessing the 'power triad' of the U.S./Japan/Western Europe, he deems European nations the least stable link, with Germany gaining ascendancy. He looks warily at 'Global Gladiators'--drug cartels, Khomeini, multinationals, the Pope--who challenge the boundaries of the nation-state. Toffler's inflated, slogan-slinging probe entertains as it serves up bytes of information and insight, some provocative, some facile. Tanned; cover creased. 611 pages. Seller Inventory # 1570259
