Publisher's Synopsis
Most of us dont think about the long-term future often but as Phil Ruthven shows in The Future for Our Kids, the future is an exciting place to consider. This book is for realists and for optimists also those pessimists who are open to argument. It covers a lot of change past, present and future. Its meant simply as a guide to whats ahead with context and perspective. Ruthven doesnt dodge the hard stuff. Wars, recessions and depressions, epidemics, the drugs scene, droughts and other disasters are part of our history and probable future. Hopefully, they wont be as debilitating as they have been and hell explain why. Mostly, however, the future brings promise that is more predictable today than its ever been.
