The Future and Its Enemies
1998 book by Virginia Postrel / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Future and Its Enemies: The Growing Conflict Over Creativity, Enterprise, and Progress is a 1998 book by Virginia Postrel where she describes the growing conflict in post-Cold War society between "dynamism" – marked by constant change, creativity and exploration in the pursuit of progress – and "stasism", where progress is controlled by careful and cautious planning. Postrel endorses the former, illustrates the differences between the two, and argues that dynamism should be embraced rather than feared.
