Dr. Ramos is a leader of Henry the K's consulting firm. He argues that there is an 'irresistable' revolution underway that many leaders are not preparing us for.
"On the one hand, this revolution is creating unprecedented disruption and dislocation. But it is also creating new fortunes, new power, fresh hope, and a new global order. Revolutions, after all, don't produce only losers. They also--and this is the heart of the story I want to tell here--produce a whole new cast of historical champions. This book isn't the tale of our inevitable doom. It's a guide to how we can save ourselves. What we'll find on the following pages is meant to be a decoder ring for the perplexities of our current world, for the dangerous magic that seems to be unspooling everywhere. And it is also, once you've understood it clearly, a way for anyone, from eight to eighty, to begin to see what this world means for you--and to see what you can do about it."
No footnotes or graphs, but sources for each chapter. Index.
