Affluent Society
by John Kenneth Galbraith
Galbraith's
classic on the "economics of abundance" is, in the words of the New York Times,
"a compelling challenge to conventional thought." With customary clarity,
eloquence, and humor, Galbraith cuts to the heart of what economic security
means (and doesn't mean) in today's world and lays bare the hazards of
individual and societal complacence about economic inequity. While "affluent
society" and "conventional wisdom" (first used in this book) have entered the
vernacular, the message of the book has not been so widely embraced--reason
enough to rediscover The Affluent Society. (From Publisher)

A Whole New Mind: Moving from the
Information Age to the Conceptual Age
by Daniel H. Pink
Lawyers.
Accountants. Radiologists. Software engineers. That's what our parents
encouraged us to become when we grew up. But Mom and Dad were wrong. The future
belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind.
The era of "left brain" dominance, and the Information Age that it engendered,
are giving way to a new world in which "right brain" qualities-inventiveness,
empathy, meaning-predominate. That's the argument at the center of this
provocative and original book, which uses the two sides of our brains as a
metaphor for understanding the contours of our times.(From Publisher)
