内容简介
This book is about a new American society that is not yet
fully evolved. Nevertheless, the restructuring of America is al-
ready changing our inner and outer lives. Each of this book s ten
chapters examines one of these critical restructurings: (1) Al-
though we continue to think we live in an indus~trial society, we
have in fact changed to an economy based on the creation and
distribution of information. (2) We are moving in the dual direc-
tions of high tech/high touch, matching each new technology
with a compensatory human response. (3) No longer do we have
the luxury of operating within an isolated, self-sufficient, nation-
al economic system; we now must acknowledge that-we are part
of a global economy. We have begun to let go of the idea that the
United States is and must remain the world s industrial leader as
we move on to other tasks. (4) We are restructuring from a soci-
ety run by short-term considerations and rewards in favor of
dealing with things in much longer-term time frames. (5) In
cities and states, in small organizations and subdivisions
