Non-Fiction
Today the very ideas that made America great imperil its
future. Our plans go awry and policies fail. History's
grandest war against terrorism creates more terrorists.
Global capitalism, intended to improve lives, increases the
gap between rich and poor. Decisions made to stem a
financial crisis guarantee its worsening. Environmental
strategies to protect species lead to their extinction.
The traditional physics of power has been replaced by
something radically different. In The Age of the
Unthinkable, Joshua Cooper Ramo puts forth a revelatory new
model for understanding our dangerously unpredictable
world. Drawing upon history, economics, complexity theory,
psychology, immunology, and the science of networks, he
describes a new landscape of inherent unpredictability--and
remarkable, wonderful possibility.
