Why you should read Trends 2000
Trends 2000 identifies investment opportunities that will help you profit in a future of global radiation poisoning, free, unlimited energy and "techno-tribes" of pioneers who have fled cities in search of safety and clean water. These predictions and many more are made so confidently by author Gerald Calente that he frequently writes of future events - like the creation of contained cold fusion - in the past tense. The book includes headlines and stories from the Associated Press and newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and USA Today to back up its bold prognostications. While shaded by his own political leanings, Calente does point out some disturbing trends, like the steady decay of the Russian nuclear power infrastructure. He also cites some trends that are truly thought-provoking, like the competitive advantage gained by the U.S. through the "English language monopoly" created by the rapid spread of its technology. getAbstract.com recommends this book for investors, entrepreneurs and executives looking to identify overlooked trends in society and alternative views of the future.
