"Riding the Next Wave continues Hudson Institute's analytical tradition of exploring the future through the lenses of social science and history. Featuring the independent work of Hudson researchers (and those associated with the institute), Riding the Next Wave presents an overview of the possible contours of the world in the twenty-first century by exploring the probability and scope of change in demographics, national defense, biotechnology, urban development, space exploration, and much more.

This collaborative effort projects a century of success and tremendous growth spreading throughout the globe, benefiting workers and developing countries in ways previously thought unattainable outside the industrialized world. The book also identifies several potential threats to future growth, exploring ways to overcome these obstacles. Riding the Next Wave will both stimulate discussion and help shape the future that it describes."--BOOK JACKET.
