The book takes the reader on a bold, refreshing, and informative tour through its technological drivers, its profound impact on human ecosystems, and its potential for sustainable human development. The overarching message to the reader is that the Fourth Industrial Revolution is not merely something to be feared or survived; rather, this dramatic collision of technologies, disciplines, and ideas presents a magnificent opportunity for a generation of new pioneers to rewrite "accepted rules" and find new avenues to empower billions of people to thrive. This book will help readers to discern the difference between disruption and transformation. The reader will come away from this book with a deeply intuitive and highly contextual understanding of the core technological advances transforming the world as we know it. Beyond this, the reader will clearly appreciate the future impacts on our economies and social structures. Most importantly, the reader will receive an insightful and actionable set of guidelines to assist them in harnessing the Fourth Industrial Revolution so that both they and their communities may flourish. The authors do not primarily seek to make prescriptions for government policy; rather, to speak directly to people about what they can do for themselves, their families, and their communities to be future-proofed and ready to adapt to life in a rapidly-evolving world ecosystem"-- 0aTechnological innovationsxEconomic aspects.9154083 0aTechnological innovationsxSocial aspects.9154084 0aTechnology and civilization.91540851 aMarkey-Towler, Brendan,eauthor.915246608iOnline version:aJohnson, Nicholas,tEconomics of the fourth industrial revolutionb1.dNew York : Routledge, 2020.z9780429430015w(DLC) 2020027313  2ddccBK  c56462d56462  00102ddc4070aBPATCbBPATCcBook Review81l3o303.4834 JOE 2021p114699q2026-07-16r2026-07-16 00:16:40s2026-07-16w2024-10-28yBK
