Thought-provoking...highly recommended for anyone who runs a business, is involved in international relations, or cares about our collective future., One can hope that Ramo's book may be one of the grains of sand that causes that much-needed avalanche., [Ramo's] provocative new book...does a nimble job of showing how such theories shed light on the current political and economic climate while avoiding the worst pitfalls...[he] has managed, in this stimulating volume, to make the reader seriously contemplate the alarming nature of a rapidly changing world., Sparkles with insight and imagination. You'll learn more about foreign policy from this text than you would in most university courses. Seamlessly fuses the bird's-eye and worm's-eye views to render a compelling picture of global security threats.|9780316118088|, "Thought-provoking....Ramo questions conventional thinking and provides fresh ideas-something we deeply need these days."-Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein, Former foreign editor ofTime, Ramo pushes the reader into uncomfortable yet exhilarating places with controversial ways of thinking about global challenges...Persuasively argued...[Ramo's] revelatory work argues that there must be some audacity in thinking before there can be any audacity of hope., "A great read, a wondrous and unexpected journey through a world that keeps getting more complicated.

Synopsis
Today the very ideas that made America great imperil its future. Our plans go awry and policies fail. History's grandest war against terrorism creates more terrorists. Global capitalism, intended to improve lives, increases the gap between rich and poor. Decisions made to stem a financial crisis guarantee its worsening. Environmental strategies to protect species lead to their extinction. The traditional physics of power has been replaced by something radically different. In The Age of the Unthinkable, Joshua Cooper Ramo puts forth a revelatory new model for understanding our dangerously unpredictable world. Drawing upon history, economics, complexity theory, psychology, immunology, and the science of networks, he describes a new landscape of inherent unpredictability--and remarkable, wonderful possibility., Drawing upon history, economics, complexity theory, human immunology, psychology, and his own extraordinary experiences, Ramo delivers a brilliant new paradigm for understanding the dangerous--and dangerously unpredictable--new global order.
