Review of The Coming Anarchy

Posted By on May 6, 2009

Today we shall begin a discussion of alternative futures. This discussion is not intended to predict the future or to lead you to believe in one inevitable future scenario. The purpose of this discussion is to range widely over contemporary thinking about the future to widen your perspective so that you can make intelligent decisions for yourself. We shall consider scenarios that are wildly improbable as well as likely, and from a wide variety of worldviews. (more…)
