A propos de cet article

xiv, 359, [3] pages. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Inscribed by Peirce on half-title. Minor corner creasing to several pages.

Knowledge will be king-the dominant resource. The author feels that nation-states are losing their power to innovate and transform society, but citistates will take up the slack: "The citistate is the most dynamic form of human settlement today. We are just beginning to sense its full latent power. But it may be years before we grasp its limits, geographic or political.".…
