- Summary:
-
"The Long Boom argues that we are on the verge of an unprecedented global economic expansion, and that the choices we make today - as informed individuals, institutions, communities, and nations - will determine whether its full promise is realized. Analyzing economic, political, technological, and socio-cultural trends that began to converge in the early 1980s, the authors offer a vision of how the next twenty years will unfold."--BOOK JACKET.
