Book Description
What will planet Earth be like in twenty 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. Attali anticipates an unraveling of American hegemony as transnational corporations sever the ties linking free enterprise to democracy. World tensions will be primed for horrific warfare for resources and dominance. The ultimate 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.

Do Voters Look to the Future?
Author: Brad Lockerbie
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791478173
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Do voters look to the past, the future, or both when deciding how to vote? In Do Voters Look to the Future?, Brad Lockerbie shows voters to be more sophisticated than much of the work in political science would suggest. He argues that voters do not simply reward or punish the incumbent administration, but instead make a comparative evaluation of the likely performance of each candidate and vote for the one that will most likely provide them with a prosperous future. Making use of data from 1956 through the present, Lockerbie finds that voters take into account both what has happened and what they think will happen when they vote. He finds these economic evaluations to be strongly related to voting behavior both for the House and the Senate, as well as the presidency. Additionally, Lockerbie examines the role of these economic items to explain changes in party identification.

Pages : 0
Book Description
From crises in the world’s financial markets to the breakdown of natural systems that support human life and well-being, The Future in Plain Sight is a powerful and unsparing look at what lies in store for us in the coming decades. For more than half a century, we have enjoyed a prolonged period of success and stability. Recent decades have been among the most prosperous in all of human history, and we have come to view this as the norm. However, the events of September 11, 2001, proved just how precarious our sense of safety really is. And what can we expect in the coming years? In The Future in Plain Sight, award-winning journalist and author Eugene Linden lays out the nine factors that foretell future instability. They include the dangers of religious fanaticism, the widening gap between rich and poor, the resurgence of infectious disease, and the effects of a changing global climate. Linden explores these and other destabilizing forces, then takes us to the year 2050 to see what life will be like.
