Anticipatory Thinking: How to See a New Trend Before Others

Paradigms are a system of views and representations through which we perceive the world around us and predict its behavior in the future. However, the world is constantly changing, and the rules that worked well in the past can become... a hindrance to development. Understanding the essence of paradigms, the ability to recognize the emergence of a new paradigm, and timely finding its application is an art that every modern person should master. Renowned futurist Joel Arthur Barker shows that the concept of paradigms is applicable not only in science but also in business, politics, culture, and everyday life. The book is aimed at a wide audience.
