About this product

Product Information

A Future Perfectis the first comprehensive examination of the most important revolution of our time--globalization--and how it will continue to change our lives. The authors, John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge, correspondents forThe Economist, won the Financial Times/Booz Allen Hamilton Global Business Book Award on Strategy and Leadership for their previous collaboration,The Witch Doctors. InA Future Perfect, Micklethwait and Wooldridge expand their field of vision in order to analyze, demystify, and expose the global forces reshaping our world, and they detail both the challenge and the hidden promise those forces hold for individuals, businesses, and governments. Do businesses benefit from going global? Are we creating winner-take-all societies? Will globalization seal the triumph of junk culture? What will happen to individual careers? Gathering evidence from the shantytowns of São Paolo to the boardroom of General Electric, from the troubled Russia-Estonia border to the booming San Fernando Valley sex industry, Micklethwait and Wooldridge mount a powerful, witty, levelheaded defense of globalization. Along the way, the authors introduce us to the cosmocrats--the members of the elite business, information, and diplomatic class who are creating the new world order. They also identify the three engines of globalization and describe how people are managing and governing in an increasingly global era. As they did inThe Witch Doctors, the authors also brilliantly puncture myths and conventional wisdom, separating false hopes from emerging realities. Incisive, expansive, and optimistic,A Future Perfectis an illuminating tour of the global economy and a fascinating assessment of its potential impact.

Reviews
"As the angry confrontation erupted at the Seattle WTO meeting in late 1999, I found myself furious. Not at the protesters, but at myself and my kind for having done such a rotten job of explaining in clear and compelling English the power and benefits of globalization. Now John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge weigh in with the response I prayed for. A Future Perfect fills a yawning void with a magisterial case for the most powerful--and life-enhancing--force on earth: globalization." --Tom Peters "A Future Perfecthas taken up the challenge of translating the many aspects of globalization into human and understandable terms. It is a convincing, even-handed, often witty defense and will do much to clarify this often misunderstood "revolution" of the new century." -- Henry Kissinger, "As the angry confrontation erupted at the Seattle WTO meeting in late 1999, I found myself furious.
