Third waveOne of the students of " post-industrial society " Elvin Toffler, who predicted many of the features of modern society at the beginning of the 1980s, in his classical work, has laid down the history of mankind on the “tech waves” (equal to political economy classics).
One technological wave is changing the other, and there is a change in public form. According to Toffler, there is no special difference between socialism in the USSR and imperialism in the mid-20th century, and it is easy to find the features of the industrial era: centralized management and control and suppression of social initiative.
Each technological wave has its key product, and the power of countries and voluntary associations depends on its possession and control. In ancient societies and mid-centurys, such a product was land, in the industrial era, commodity markets and raw materials. In a post-industrial society, information becomes a key product in the phase of the Third Technology Wave.
