The Seventh Wave and Beyond: A World Revolution Driven by Knowledge
Bill Zebuhr
It is easy these days to get a bit depressed about the state of the world and the prospects for the future. World pollution, religious wars, deforestation, decimation of wildlife, over-use of resources, poverty, disease, and other ills all result in a world lifestyle that is highly unsustainable. Things seem bad and bound to get worse while governments around the world?overseen by so-called leaders that are often pathetic?fiddle with weak ideas that have been tried and proven wrong by history and common sense. Yet there is hope. It does not come from politics or religion, but from knowledge mostly gained by science and technology and led mostly by private business.
