À propos de cet audio

What will planet Earth be like in 20 years? At mid-century? In the year 2100? Prescient and convincing, this book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future. Never has the world offered more promise for the future and been more fraught with dangers. In this powerful and sometimes terrifying work, Attali analyzes the past and pinpoints nine distinct periods of human history, each with its world center of power and prestige, and predicts what the tenth will bring by the end of this century.

Attali foresees the disappearance of individual countries and the dominance of a world government, with democracy prevailing. However, the ultimate, burning question is: Will we leave our children and grandchildren a world that is not only viable but better, or in this nuclear world bequeath to them a planet that will be a living hell? Either way, he warns, the time to act is now.

Prescient and timely, there are portions in this that are more relevant now than ever. Well worth listening to…

Carefully thought through projections!

Deep water, but well thought and cleaned of debris. Reminds me of Brave New World, but in essay format

Worth it

The history lesson was interesting. Author appears to be establishing a base line or presenting a trend to base predictions on.
At a point in the book it became all about the United States. Went into great and completely irrelevant details of the power and effects the US has on the rest of the world. The history lesson was a waste of time as the author really predicted nothing with any clarity. Unless you want to hear how great the US is this is a waste of a credit.

Due to age of publication, relevancy is severly lacking and predictions already proven misguided and far off current trajectory.
