Revolutionary Wealth
CRITIC AND READER REACTIONS
"In Future Shock, the Tofflers warned that many people 'will find it increasingly painful to keep up with the incessant demand for change that characterizes our time. For them, the future will have arrived too soon.' These days, from Baghdad to Bangalore to Boston, it seems more likely that people worry that the future will arrive too late. That's no small change, and it's one on which the Tofflers have been shining a light for years."
-- New York Times Book Review
"Revolutionary Wealth is a continuation of the work of futurist couple Alvin and Heidi Toffler ... They show no signs of losing touch with the bleeding edge or slowing down. Their book is loaded with bits of intelligence....
-- USA Today
"Revolutionary Wealth ... takes a hard look at the changing economies of the world and where we're heading in the increasingly global marketplace. I've always believed in planning ahead and have made some wise investments as a result. They [the Tofflers] share my forward thinking."
-- Donald Trump
"Both shocking and stimulating ... Their books are irresistible."
-- Investor's Business Daily
"Like other books by the Tofflers, [Revolutionary Wealth] seeks to shake, rattle and roll us out of wrong-headedness and into preparedness. Even if you can't agree with the authors' every prediction ...you must admit they've mastered the art of integrating - in clear, engaging prose - a torrent of up-to-date global information [and] historical arguments to support their points of view and research from the frontiers of science. So dinosaurs give up!"

"Revolutionary Wealth ... will act as a powerful guideline for the future of our world ... The success of Korea as an IT powerhouse and leader in the new age of the knowledge-based economy can be attributed to the lessons I learned through your books such as The Third Wave and Future Shock."
-- Kim Dae-jung, former president of South Korea
"Revolutionary Wealth has garnered a lot of coverage in Germany and Italy, and is already a bestseller in China and India. In Japan, where he's just been, Toffler is a veritable oracle."
-- Financial Times
"Revolutionary Wealth is much talked about among many CEOs, executives, economists and intellectuals (in South Korea)."
-- Korea Times
"Investors...will find many useful insights in the Tofflers' view of various economies ... [Revolutionary Wealth] sweeps into the past and the future, covering economics, history, philosophy, sociology, political science and any number of strange interdisciplinary hybrids."
-- National Post of Canada
"Revolutionary Wealth brings an exciting new dimension to the Tofflers' body of work. As we struggle to navigate the complexities of the rapidly changing wealth system that confronts us all, it provides an invaluable roadmap to our financial future."
-- Newt Gingrich
"Futurology has its perils, but it holds no terror for Alvin and Heidi Toffler, perhaps the world's most famous prognosticators. Their latest book, Revolutionary Wealth, foretells the next great economic revolution."
-- Washington Post Book World
"Revolutionary Wealth soon became a best-seller in Mainland China."
-- People's Daily
"Much like their earlier path-breaking seminal work with Future Shock, The Third Wave and Powershift, the Toffler's new book, Revolutionary Wealth too is about looking at established thought and wisdom through a new prism ... the book is a holy grail of everything from management thinking, sociology, history, science, trade & commerce, consumer behaviour, developmental economics, political thought and poetry, besides much else ... highly insightful ... simply a treat."
-- The Economic Times of India
"Profoundly important and thought-provoking concepts ... a wake-up call."
-- Providence RI Journal
"It's time to redraw the 'wealth maps.' "
-- Business Line of India
"Revolutionary Wealth serves well in explaining why most societies face difficulties ... The Tofflers take up what many consider the most important geopolitical question today: Can America stay on top? ... The book's most important contribution is its explanation of how Second Wave elites are delaying the arrival of Third Wave prosperity."
-- Gordon Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China, in the South China Morning Post
"The world the Tofflers describe (in Revolutionary Wealth) is exciting, challenging and rich in opportunity. The tale they tell mirrors the pace of change: The book is structured around compelling headlines and organized into bite-size, easily readable chunks. Many of us authors wish we were half as accessible and engaging."
-- Across the Board magazine
"Revolutionary Wealth paints a picture of a world in overdrive, with vast potentials for creating a higher standard of living across the globe ... Makes you entertain possibilities you never thought of before."
