ABSTRACT
Which world lies ahead in the twenty-first century? Will the future bring a Market World, in which widespread prosperity, peace, and stability come from economic reform, technological innovation, and the integration of developing regions into the global economy? Or will it bring a Fortress World, in which the rich get richer but large portions of humanity are left behind, the environment is irreversibly degraded, and conflict, violence, and instability are widespread? Or is it possible that social and political change, driven by both enlightened leadership and grassroots social coalitions, will lead to a Transformed World, in which power and prosperity are more widely shared, in which markets serve social and environmental as well as economic goals, and in which basic human needs are met nearly everywhere?
