Commentary Conducive To Books Une brève histoire de l'avenir

La généralisation du règne de l'argent est en marche. Ultime expression de l'individualisme, elle explique l'essentiel des soubresauts de l'Histoire: pour l'accélérer; pour la refuser; pour l'orienter. Si cette évolution va à son terme, l'humanité disparaîtra. Si par contre l'homme recule devant cet avenir et interrompt cette généralisation du libéralisme, il basculera dans une succession de barbaries et de totalitarismes dans des batailles que je nommerai "l'hyperconflit". Et l'humanité disparaîtra aussi, mais tout autrement. Si, enfin, la mondialisation peut être contenue sans être refusée, et si le marché peut être dépassé sans être aboli, s'ouvrira pour l'humanité un nouvel infini de démocratie, de liberté, de responsabilité, de création et de dignité. C'est que je nommerai "l'hyperdémocratie". Trois avenirs s'ouvriront donc devant nous au-delà de l'actuelle domination de l'empire américain 'provisoire, comme celle de tous ses prédécesseurs: hyperempire, hyperconflit, hyperdémocratie. Deux avenirs mortels, un troisième impossible. Je crois que le troisième l'emportera après un demi-siècle de chaos. Pour l'expliquer, j'entends raconter ici l'histoire de l'avenir.

Write Up Containing Books Une brève histoire de l'avenir

This highly speculative tale of things to come begins with a brief overview of where we've been. I was put off by an obvious error on page 7 which states that all primates other than Homo sapiens sapiens vanished from Earth 30,000 years ago. Although some species of apes, monkeys, and lemurs are endangered, many are still with us, so obviously they did not vanish. The mistake may have been due to a translation error (from the original French) because the word 'primate' is used several times in

One of the best encapsulated human history briefs I have seen. The future? Who knows but a few years after it has been written makes some errors obvious. But thought-provoking and at times fascinating.

Very interesting review of history. The premise is that human civilization continues to march toward greater openness in market/capitalism and in freedom. With the rise of the renaissance, there have been a rise and fall of leading cities in this area. As one falters, another rises - Bruges, Venice, Antwerp, Genoa, Amserdam, London, Boston, New York, and LA. Much of this is based on Turner's work on Great Cities - must be centers of trade, be innovators, and welcome immigrants. With this history

this review will be postponed... undefinitely

very dumb. Didn't finish it. The premise was basically, when in the future will society become enlightened and allow things like gay marriage, etc. His French arrogance is also very anti-American.



A very interesting and thought provoking read. The narrative on the history is already well worth the read. There are some controversy on the future prediction, and maybe that's because it's not too bright. Still, most scenario aren't that inconceivable.
