5.0 out of 5 stars Great Thinker, May 28, 2004

By	J. McAndrew "Jeffrey C. McAndrew" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Toffler's writing is writing that any true intellectual should experience. He says a lot of about trends..it's better than
John Naisbitt's book by the way.

Get this eye-opening book. It will change the way you look at the world and at your life. Perhaps the best chapter is:
"Beyond Capitalism and Socialism." His ideas about sex roles and conflict are also very interesting.

Glad I took time to look at this very important and thought-provoking book.
