Publisher Description
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 The traditional physics of power has been replaced by something radically different.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.

“This book is very thought provoking. Although it is fairly intellectual, it is well written and easy to follow. It shows you why we need to be adaptable and open to possibilities that may be difficult to imagine. The world we live in is changing. Ramo shows us the how and why, and challenges the reader to think outside the box. We’re talking paradigm shift..!”
