Toffler and the Revolutionary wealth
In the analysis of the strategic political changes (like "will the USA still lead the world; what do we have to think about the european model etc.), I've been amazed by the wrong opinion they have from the European continent.
Being a convinced European myself, I can't understand that American authors still have a such a wrong perception of this political project. They are putting in evidence that European bureaucracy, poor innovative research programmes, local nationalisms and aging population are not helping to transform our economies in a knowledge economy (which is, by the way, the revolutionary wealth). They're right. For some of their points, but not all of them. Not being precise in their descriptions, making parallels in their reflections make that they follow the 'arrogant American' attitude, telling to the planet how goes the world and what to think about it. This is, at least in my point of view, a major mistake. But, of course, it's only a humble European voice speaking here.
