«Powershift: Knowledge, Wealth and Violence in the 21st Century» is Alvin Toffler's essay published by Bantam Press in hardback (585 pages, in English).
Toffler argues that power is no longer based on force or money, but on knowledge. The new information economy transforms everyday life and power relations, turning data and media into a battlefield. The book describes the «information wars» for dominance of knowledge.
Published in February 1991, it continues the ideas of Toffler's earlier works such as «Future Shock». The edition falls within the categories of technology, business and economics.
For readers interested in futurology, sociology of power, politics and the information economy, and in the social impact of technology.
Alvin Eugene Toffler was an American writer, futurist, and businessman known for his works discussing modern technologies, including the digital revolution and the communication revolution, with emphasis on their effects on cultures worldwide. He is regarded as one of the world's outstanding futurists.
