Reviews"With a unique combination of cold-eyed realism and boldly confident fortune-telling, Friedman ( America's Secret War ) offers a global tour of war and peace in the upcoming century. The author asserts that "the United States' power is so extraordinarily overwhelming" that it will dominate the coming century, brushing aside Islamic terrorist threats now, overcoming a resurgent Russia in the 2010s and '20s and eventually gaining influence over space-based missile systems that Friedman names "battle stars." Friedman is the founder of Stratfor, an independent geopolitical forecasting company, and his authoritative-sounding predictions are based on such factors as natural resources and population cycles. While these concrete measures lend his short-term forecasts credence, the later years of Friedman's 100-year cycle will provoke some serious eyebrow raising. The armed border clashes between Mexico and the United States in the 2080s seem relatively plausible, but the space war pitting Japan and Turkey against the United States and allies, prognosticated to begin precisely on Thanksgiving Day 2050, reads as fantastic (and terrifying) science fiction. Whether all of the visions in Friedman's crystal ball actually materialize, they certainly make for engrossing entertainment." -- Publishers Weekly "This is a book about unintended consequences and how the constraints of time and place impact the behavior of individuals and nations and offer a view of future events. [Friedman's] theories are fascinating....This is an excellent book." -- Booklist "Futurologist Friedman entertainingly explains how America will bestride the world during this century. Prophecy, whether by astrologers, science-fiction writers or geopoliticians, has a dismal track record, but readers will enjoy this steady stream of clever historical analogies, economic analyses and startling demographic data." -- Kirkus "There is a temptation, when you are around George Friedman, to treat him like a Magic 8-Ball." New York Times Magazine " Barron's consistently has found Stratfor's insights informative and largely on the moneyas has the company's large client base, which ranges from corporations to media outlets and government agencies."

SynopsisConventional 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 long-awaited and 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."The Next 100 Years "draws on a fascinating exploration of history and geopolitical patterns dating back hundreds of years. Friedman shows that we are now, for the first time in half a millennium, at the dawn of a new era with changes in store, including: The U.S.-Jihadist war will conclude replaced by a second full-blown cold war with Russia. China will undergo a major extended internal crisis, and Mexico will emerge as an important world power. A new global war will unfold toward the middle of the century between the United States and an unexpected coalition from Eastern Europe, Eurasia, and the Far East; but armies will be much smaller and wars will be less deadly. Technology will focus on space both for major military uses and for a dramatic new energy resource that will have radical environmental implications. The United States will experience a Golden Age in the second half of the century. Written with the keen insight and thoughtful analysis that has made George Friedman a renowned expert in geopolitics and forecasting, "The Next 100 Years" presents a fascinating picture of what lies ahead.For continual, updated analysis and supplemental material, go to www.Stratfor.com", "Conventional analysis suffers from a profound failure of imagination.

A glimpse into a possible future. Read it and you will be prepared.
THE NEXT HUNDRED YEARS!!! Actually it is The Next Ninety years now. The book was written ten years ago. You can see how he’s doing so far. But, this is not a crystal ball predicting book. It is not a conspiracy, tell-all thriller. It is a history book, a geography book, a population book, a religion book, an economics book, a political science book, a Geopolitical Book. The author, a man who I like reading, has applied himself to looking at the physical layout of our global playing field, the actions and the reasons for the actions that nations and cultures have taken throughout history, and the advances in population, economics, science, and communications that can be expected in the future. He thought out some likely scenarios, some guesses, some imperatives that drive individuals and nations, measuring one version of the future against another. In this book, he tells us what the geopolitical world will be during YOUR ADULT LIFETIME. Even if the real future doesn’t turn out to be exactly his version, having a glimpse at some of your future will be an advantage. Bottom line is expect change. Don’t settle in. Plan to reinvent yourself many times. The only thing that is constant is change. Expect things to change. Expect friends to become enemies and enemies to become friends. Believe in demographics. Us old Baby Boomers will die off, much to our displeasure. Immigration will be good thing (again) someday. Military power may not need large armies. Straight line projections are always wrong because they assume people won’t react to the straight line condition to change it. As always, read the book with a pen and highlighter in your hand. Mark the parts the appeal to you, that ring true to what you already know, that seem startlingly *wrong* to you, that taught you something new about a situation. And share the book. Give it to you parents, your friends; ask a teacher to read it and discuss it with you. Write in the margins. Star cool ideas. Give it dog ears so you’ll know where you want to review laterBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
