The Future and Its Enemies
- The Future and Its Enemies
"The Future and Its Enemies" 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 that progress is marked by careful and cautious planning. Postrel endorses the former, illustrates the differences between the two sides, and argues that dynamism should be embraced rather than feared.
