war of civilisations or boundariless world market?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I found this book deeply insightful when I first read it, and I have since returned to its wisdom in the light of the current threat to world economic development posed by the terrorist attacks. Story is an astute observer of our world, and perspective like this is a valuable commidity in times like these.If you're wondering what the future holds for world markets, then look no further. Story says that "Politics drives the world economy, because history is made by humans" and observes that economic prosperity and political tranquillity do not always go hand in hand.There's a great section in Frontiers of Fortune that introduces Story's concept of world and local time; something that helps explain the friction between the instantaneous, future-oriented global time and the inherited cultural and historic sphere of local in which most people live, with its own civilizations, mental landscapes and holy places. So is our global village heading to a war of civilisations or to a boundariless world market? No definitive answers here, but all the insights to make us wiser decision-makers in the future.
