This will result in nothing less than the greatest boom in history and an unprecedented oppormnity for investors and entre-preneiui, great buys in real estate, and a wealth of high-quality lifestyle choices for the sawy people who anticipate these changes. We wiU see such rapid and exdting change as we have not seen since the dizzying pace of the productivity revolution unleashed by the assembly line in the Roaring Twenties.
Dent not only offers detailed investment strategies aimed at exploiting the coming boom for the next fifteen years but he also explains future trends in the job market, technology, demographics, and real estate. He foresees the next great population migration and explores the radically different business and organizational structures that will be the offspring of the Information ^e. At the crux of these changes is the fundamental shift to a new network model wherein front-line human "browsers" focus on intimately understanding the needs of a unique segment of customers and coordinate the products or expertise of specialized back-line human "servers" to customize solutions.
With new research tools applied to the trends that have developed within the last few years. The Roaring 2000s reveals concrete predictions and in-depth insights into the next decade, including: •A Dow that continues to soar and wiU eventually reach at least 21,500, and possibly 35,000, by the year 2008
