In <i>The Age of the Unthinkable</i>, Joshua Cooper Ramo puts forth a revelatory new model for understanding our dangerously unpredictable world. Drawing upon history, economics, complexity theory, psychology, immunology, and the science of networks, he describes a new landscape of inherent unpredictability--and remarkable, wonderful possibility. 6422167 23 3 2009 The Age of the Unthinkable: Why the New World Disorder Constantly Surprises Us And What We Can Do About It total:83|5:26|4:34|3:15|2:8|1:0| 83 327 222 37 5 0 false false Mon Mar 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 12:20:22 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 17:03:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue May 12 06:09:27 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 18:17:54 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 06:09:27 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Sep 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 15:25:11 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 05:25:13 -0700 2009
