A Brief History Of The Future: The United States In A Changing World Order

Looking at the interaction of four central tendencies - democratization, technological expansion, regional integration and the obsolescence of war - the author sketches a picture of a future imbued with ideas, populated by "ordinary heroes" and governed by the power of vision. Previews of news headlines for the 1990s are featured along with a series of special information boxes and a provocative list of 100 inventions and discoveries for the 21st century.
