Powershift: The changes of power

Alvin Toffler, one of the most lucid and acclaimed social thinkers, presents in Powershift: The Shifts in Power a comprehensive overview of 21st-century society.

In his bestselling books Future Shock and The Third Wave , Toffler introduced an entirely new vision of the world and the prevailing public, social, and economic relations at the end of this century. His ideas prompted comment from figures such as Richard Nixon and Mikhail Gorbachev and have significantly influenced contemporary thought.

Now, in Powershift: The Shifts of Power , with his innovative discourse and remarkable vision of the future, the author analyzes the very nature of power in transformation, showing that, while old global conflicts lose expression, a new and profound division emerges in the world.
