The Future As Transformation with Willis Harman

MP3 Download

A provocative and penetrating analysis of what's going on in the world, with a social scientist/engineer/futurist who plainly feels we're in the midst of a planetary metamorphosis of monumental proportion. From Plato's "philosopher/king" principle to Toffler's "Third Wave" vision, Harman takes us on a wondrous journey where the problem becomes the opportunity and the crisis is the signal for epic change. Every caterpillar who wishes to become a butterfly needs to listen to this one.
