INTRODUCTION
LARGE- SCALE PARADIGM shifts are disrupting the interdependent global economy.
The peerless Brookings Institution refers to it as Megachange
– dramatic economic disruptions, political upheaval, or social strife, among other things.¹
In Disruption: Lifelong Learning in the Knowledge Economy, you get a ringside seat to the lurching switch from a manufacturing to post-industrial economy based on brains, not brawn.
Disruption focuses on the fundamentals to prepare yourself and your children to thrive in the new economy.
Here is a summary of the chapters that follow.
Chapter 1 covers the aspects and implications of a knowledge-based economy.
Chapters 2 and 3 address Lifelong Learning – the antidote to the rapid, chaotic change impacting you and your children now.
Chapter 4 gives parents, students, young professionals, experienced professionals, and retirees practical advice to overcome the current upheaval in the global economy.
Chapter 5 begins a journey to explore how reading helps you cope with the new economy.
Chapter 6 gives the author’s perspective of the challenges ahead.
Finally, I leave you with a few partings words and encouragement to use lifelong learning to succeed the disruption caused by the Knowledge Economy.
