The Long Boom A Vision For The Coming Age Of Prosperity [Paperback]

The Washington Post called The Long Boom a future-history and a challenge -and that is exactly what it is: the story of the world's future, powered by emerging technologies, and a political vision that can help realize an era of unprecedented growth and opportunity. The Long Boom urges everyone to recognize that global prosperity, a sustainable environment, broad social progress, and even radically extended lifespans are very possible-if not probable-in the 20 years to come.
