Emmott: Lessons
Bill Emmott: 20:21 Vision - Twentieth-Century Lessons for the Twenty-first Century
Hardcover: 384 pages
Publisher: Pan Books 2003
ISBN: 0374279659
Emmott encourages us to be 'paranoidly optimistic' about our future - global capitalism, democracy and technological development will offer us ways to master our future. Most important threats to our end of history are war and global warming.
Former chief editor of The Economist offers his realist account of the 20th century and skethces up a vision of the 21st. Emmott's straight-forward business oriented writing is by nature in the language of constructive realism. Don't expect political jargon.
