"A superb synthesis of today's burning issues of globalization, the transition to post-industrial futures, the growth of post-carbon, "green" economies worldwide, changing paradigms in science, economics and management---all enfolded in a deep cultural analysis of changing ethical, religious and spiritual values. As an independent scholar/activist and financial practitioner participating in and observing these whole-system changes as humanity shifts toward planetary citizenship, I find no other author who embraces these historic transformation processes as deeply as Marc Luyckx Ghisi. The Knowledge Society explains and make senses of today's widespread confusion among "leaders", mass media and traditional academia. Marc's deeply personal style illuminates his heroic synthesis. He shows how our endangered human family can re-design our various civilizations toward more peaceful, just and sustainable futures for all life on Earth."
