Published in 1990, the #1 New York Times bestseller Megatrends 2000 was a run-up to the new millennium. It describes what
was beginning to shape the 21st century, including the Rise of the Pacific Rim, the dawn of the Age
of Biology, The Triumph of the Individual, the emergence of the Free Market Socialism, a Religion Revival, Cultural Nationalism, and the Booming Global Economy of
the 1990s.

The accomplishment of this book was to identify clear patterns beneath the confusion, to chart
a meaningful course through our future, and to focus on the contributions each individual
can make.
