What will our world be like in 25, 30 or 50 years? Will we leave our children and grandchildren a world that is not only livable, but better? Would a world without intense conflict and one leading nation telling everyone what to do be real? Never before has the world made so many promises for the future and been on the brink of so many dangers as today. Jacques Attali, a French politician, economist and writer, not only answers these questions, but also sheds light on the many exciting changes that await humanity. The author anticipates the difficulties ahead in world society, which will have to be fought, because global tension in the 21st century will concentrate around the struggle for resources and world domination. This book is a must-read for anyone who has ever thought about the future!
