Revolutionary Wealth by Alvin Toffler (PDF)

Description

Starting with the publication of their seminal bestseller, Future Shock, Alvin and Heidi Toffler have given millions of readers new ways to think about personal life in today’s high-speed world with its constantly changing, seemingly random impacts on our businesses, governments, families and daily lives. Now, writing with the same rare grasp and clarity that made their earlier books classics, the Tofflers turn their attention to the revolution in wealth now sweeping the planet. And once again, they provide a penetrating, coherent way to make sense of the seemingly senseless.Revolutionary Wealth is about how tomorrow’s wealth will be created, and who will get it and how. But twenty-first-century wealth, according to the Tofflers, is not just about money, and cannot be understood in terms of industrial-age economics. Thus they write here about everything from education and child rearing to Hollywood and China, from everyday truth and misconceptions to what they call our “third job”—the unnoticed work we do without pay for some of the biggest corporations in our country. They show the hidden connections between extreme sports, chocolate chip cookies, Linux software and the “surplus complexity” in our lives as society wobbles back and forth between depressing decadence and a hopeful post-decadence. In their earlier work, the Tofflers coined the word “prosumer” for people who consume what they themselves produce. In Revolutionary Wealth they expand the concept to reveal how many of our activities—whether parenting or volunteering, blogging, painting our house, improving our diet, organizing a neighborhood council or even “mashing” music—pump “free lunch” from the “hidden” non-money economy into the money economy that economists track. Prosuming, they forecast, is about to explode and compel radical changes in the way we measure, make and manipulate wealth. Blazing with fresh ideas, Revolutionary Wealth provides readers with powerful new tools for thinking about—and preparing for—their future.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐A terrific explanation of the forces driving change throughout the world. One two three four five six seven eight nine……dear lord, really nine more words required. Smells like second wave thinking to me!

⭐Meet one of the worlds most reknowned Futurists and pick his Brain!The Third Wave Perspective is applied to New World situations and reveals a stunning twist of events in coming years that will revolutionize the way wealth is created in the 3rd Wave REAL-World! Dramatic events are expected and you need to know what they are and how they will unfold. Tofler takes his analysis to the next level laying out possible scenarios and spelling out the terms of technology in the new world order. Politics has not kept up with Technology and is failing fast. Don’t be left out! Those who read this book will have a distinctive advantage over all those who don’t, no matter how well educated they are.My Favorite Author, Be sure to read all of Alvin Tofler’s works.(esp. The Third Wave, PowerShift, War and Anti War)[knowledge of these other books not needed to enjoy Revolutionary Wealth btw]

⭐The hardcover was installed upside down but I won’t judge it by its cover. I liked reading it because it tugged me back from my day-to-day mindset and forced my attention on the greater view. It reminded me that congress is bent on giving away our personal online preferences instead of giving us the option to sell them as our personal wealth. That we are not represented at all.

⭐Alvin Toffler always has the gift of explaining complex issues in a clear understandable fashion. This is a book that every US voter should read to cast an intelligent vote for all contenders for public office. Sadly I think if we took a poll we would be shocked at how few Congress people have ever read it. This book would go a long way to educating the sound bite so called Right and the ranting Tea Party to the reality of the current global political and economic situation. It would also go far to educate the Leftist side of the electorate. Understanding what he put forth in this and his previous books would insure an intelligent vote rather than continuing with uneducated, emotional votes. This is a book that should be read in 12th grade in all public high schools.

⭐It make me impatient when people worry about reading and learning how the future of wealth will be. Possibly, they need encouragement of the author who may be forgotten but the fruit of his/her encouragement remain.Before the history of future suprising us, Alvin and Heidi Toffler give a positive expression of reality in a third wave world, which may often seem to be filled with negative and resistance from vested interests.THE REVOLUTIONARY WEALTH provides us with powerful new tools for thinking about and preparing for our future.ByAlhaj Hammad A.

⭐I first read “Creating A New Civilization” by the Tofflers, which was written in 1995 with me reading it in 2013….their predictions about the future were so freakingly accurate that I wanted to learn more and as an engineer I really like the details. This book provides me with those details that the engineer in me needs, but more than that I hope my fellow human beings discovers the works of the Tofflers soon and we can ALL live in a better world…TODAY! And so now I feel after reading this book that the future of humanity looks very bright and I would LOVE to possibly someday meet these clearly GREAT human beings in person one day! 🙂

⭐The times, they are a changing. There’s something going on here and you don’t know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones? But if you want to know, there’s probably no better way to start than by reading Revolutionary Wealth. With Toffler and Marshall McLuhan, you have a good introduction to the current world. Toffler provides a viewpoint that comprehends both the Teabaggers and the Sanders supporters (which are part of the frightened reaction to the same stresses). I can’t recommend Revolutionary Wealth enough. It has become my go-to book to give.

⭐I have not finished the book yet; however, it is just what I have come to expect from the Tofflers. Their insights have helped me tremendously throughout my lifetime and become my religion of sorts as I make my way through the world! I am always especially and remarkably astounded at the breadth and versatility of their inventory of analogies and real world references from so many different perspectives, genres, points of view, and physical anomalies which are so easy to relate to whenever they pop up in the text.I look forward with great enthusiasm and anticipation to every new work they publish!

⭐This book is so so so brilliant – Only God knows why I hadn’t read it earlier. Have even ordered copies for friends! An excellent book.

⭐great book as always from the Tofflers they really have good thoughts on society as we should see it today

⭐Fantastic, thank you!

⭐The revolutionary wealth comes from the knowledge economy that is the third wave of man’s economic development, following the agricultural and industrial waves. Being based on knowledge rather than consumable resources the knowledge wealth is available to all and almost inexhaustible. At least that is the authors’ thesis. There is an interesting discussion of prosumerism – a sophisticated term for DIY – where a product is produced by the consumer. There are many, indeed too many, examples. Why do such books have to be four times longer than necessary. The length smothers the importance of its message.

⭐Very interesting book
