Societies - Trends
Societies have alternated between:
Decentralized societies with slow change that laid the basis of a radically new type of social and economic stage
The resulting centralized societies with rapid economic growth and social development
Following the above patterns, the next stage after capitalism should be similar to Primitive and Land-duty societies.
Amongst the book's findings are:
Globalization will eventually result in capitalism's collapse
Government and the economy will decentralize, becoming more local and more global
Central government will have an enabling role rather than a controlling one
Devolved self-managing small economic units will perform large-scale production
Automation will remove the need for the working class's physical labor
Some physical labor will remain for a long time and with it remnants of the capitalist and working classes
The class that will dominate the next society hasn't formed yet
This class is likely to be self-employed information product creators
