The Future

For most people the "future belongs to God"; Unfathomable as it is so puzzling. And who dares to investigate it "would in the water with donkeys." Unveiling the future is a task for esoteric: gypsies, witches, psychics, astrologers and other occultists. And maybe a waste of time.
In my youth I thought so too, until I read the book "2000", written by Herman Khan. A genius with an IQ of 196 which travalhava at the Rand Corporation, which provided "strategic services" to the intelligence of the American government.
By the time the book was written, the year 2000 was far away. And like any girl I wanted to know he would. Well, some predictions of the book were correct and others not. But the real importance of the book was at the launch of the concept: "we must probe the future." To avoid mishaps and also help to build it.
Currently these services are known as strategic planning and strategic scenarios, very useful in the business field.
The book "2000" gave the exact measure of the importance of futurology, for countries, companies and people: ie, "predict" the future and prepare for it.
For this, the analyst of strategic planning involved in the matter, must have a solid general culture, have the profile and willingness to work with multidisciplinary teams who have general or specific knowledge (scientists).
It was in this spirit scrutinizing the future, which I threw myself heart and soul to write the e-book: The Sociocapitalismo - for a Better World. So I am happy to read in the newspapers and magazine, the world is heading in the direction indicated by the book. And the accelerated rate that the events are happening surprise me. @pjvalente
