Synopsis
In this powerful and sometimes terrifying work Attali analyses the past, pinpointing nine distinct periods of human history, each with its world centre of power and prestige, and predicts what the 10th will bring by the end of this century. He foresees the disappearance of individual countries and the dominance of a world government with democracy prevailing. However, the ultimate burning question is: Will we leave our children a world that is not only viable but better, or will we bequeath to them a planet that will be a living hell?, Never has the world offered more promise for the future and been more fraught with dangers. Attali analyses the past and pinpoints nine distinct periods of human history, each with its world centre of power and prestige. He also predicts what the tenth will bring by the end of this century.

- v***v (2056)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
