Innovation and Revolt: How technology reinvents human societies - and always will

by Leopold Boeckl

Overview

Today's industrialized nations are still limping toward recovery after the Great Recession in 2007. The world is bearing witness to the social revolutions spawned from the wake of the crash. History has seen this before; in fact, titanic revolutions have been the cyclical responses to the horrific financial conditions borne out of the industrial era's market crashes. The French Revolution and World War II are two indelible examples of violent impacts incited by large economies suddenly taking a nosedive. History meets macroeconomics as this book lays out how technology has been the main driver of societal change for all of human history. This book then outlines the four waves of technological innovation that have powered the industrial era and traces the seismic shifts in culture, society, and worldview that brought about the world as we know it today.

About the Author

By day - IBM business portfolio manager for software services. At night and on weekends a leading expert on applied long wave theory who really enjoys reading about macro economics, history and technology. During the depth of the crash I was asked to contribute my thinking on the impacts of the crash for the financial markets. My hobby for the past two decades has been in assembling a proposed standard history model which Innovation and Revolt outlines.
