From publisher
Today the very ideas that made America great imperil its future. Our plans go awry and policies fail. History's grandest war against terrorism creates more terrorists. Global capitalism, intended to improve lives, increases the gap between rich and poor. Decisions made to stem a financial crisis guarantee its worsening. Environmental strategies to protect species lead to their extinction.
The traditional physics of power has been replaced by something radically different. In The Age of the Unthinkable, Joshua Cooper Ramo puts forth a revelatory new model for understanding our dangerously unpredictable world. Drawing upon history, economics, complexity theory, psychology, immunology, and the science of networks, he describes a new landscape of inherent unpredictability-and remarkable, wonderful possibility.

Former foreign editor of Time, Ramo pushes the reader into uncomfortable yet exhilarating places with controversial ways of thinking about global challenges...Persuasively argued...[Ramo's] revelatory work argues that there must be some audacity in thinking before there can be any audacity of hope. |
Walter Isaacson(MSL quoted), USA
<2009-04-15 00:00>
Thought-provoking...Ramo questions conventional thinking and provides fresh ideas-something we deeply need these days. |
