Toffler's Waves -- Why Alvin Toffler's Third Wave Matters

Alvin Toffler is the well-known futurist who wrote, among other classics, Future Shock. In this timely article, Michael Finley considers Toffler's thinking and concludes that the concept of a "third wave" is much more than fad phrasing. "The regime of the smokestacks has been toppled forever," writes Finley. "What remains is still frothing and changing its shape." Thus, Finley assesses the impact of the third wave on economics, mass culture, politics, management and other aspects of society. Finley researches and writes about a host of topics relating to culture and change. This e-Doc is published by BrownHerron Publishing, with permission.
