A Forecast for the 21st Century
by George Friedman
"Conventional analysis suffers from a profound failure of imagination. It imagines passing clouds to be permanent and is blind to powerful, long-term shifts taking place in full view of the world." - George Friedman.
In his provocative new book, George Friedman turns his eye on the future—offering a lucid, highly readable forecast of the changes we can expect around the world during the twenty-first century. He explains where and why future wars will erupt (and how they will be fought), which nations will gain and lose economic and political power, and how new technologies and cultural trends will alter the way we live in the new century.
"Whether all of the visions in Friedman's crystal ball actually materialize, they certainly make for engrossing entertainment." - Publishers Weekly.
"Few readers will buy all the prognostications, but most will agree that the author makes a reasonable case, backed with vast knowledge of geopolitics ..." - Kirkus Reviews.
