The Future and Its Enemies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Future and Its Enemies is a 1998 book by Virginia Postrel where she describes the growing conflict in post-Cold War society. One side is "dynamism," marked by constant change, creativity and exploration in the pursuit of progress, and the other side is "stasism," where that progress is marked by careful and cautious planning. Postrel makes it no secret that she favors the former and uses the work as a medium to illustrate the differences between the two sides as well as argue why dynamism should not be feared but embraced.
