### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Chilling view of a possible future.
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 31, 2009*

The first portion of this book covers the historic rise and fall of previous economic empires.  To be honest, it does not start out promising.  Perhaps it was due to the fact that I knew most of the information already.  At least it was a nice refresher on the past.However, the author uses this beginning to offer a base for his theory.  As in all of the future books, the information presented is a best guess of what may happen.  The only problem here is that I have, after reading hundreds of current event and historical books, I have come to a similar conclusion as the author.  The viewpoint presented is a bleak future with hope existing only in the distant future, which lies beyond our life expectancy.  Of course, every generation thinks it will be the last.  And it is easier to focus on the negative.While I agree with said I agree with many of the conclusions, I have to say that these would fall into my worst case scenario.  I think anyone who reads this should look at the book in the same fashion.  People either tend to be overly optimistic, or continually negative.  Reality tends to fall somewhere in between.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    IMPORTANT: Written in 2008
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 2, 2022*

I was enjoying the history part, & looking forward to the future part when I noticed everything mentioned was no later than 2008. Neither the description or any other reviews I read mentioned this. (It does say published in 2011; I missed that).Missing the rise of Trumpism, fascism, Maga, the "Tea Party", etc; etc; really reduces the accuracy of the book.I would not have bought this if I had been aware of it. Hopefully there will be an update that will be pushed out to Kindle users. Not sure if I'm going to finish this, as he's making predictions based on very out of date information.

This is a compelling book, visionary and necessary for the survival of our species.  Read it and consider its message and share it with as many friends as possible!
