Cultural Metamorphosis
“Every few hundred years in Western history there occurs a sharp transformation. Within a few short decades, society – its worldview, its basic values, its social and political structures, its art, its key institutions – rearranges itself. We are currently living through such a time.”
~ Peter F. Drucker, Post-Capitalist Society (1994).

The Interregnum
“We are living in the time of the parenthesis, the time between eras. It is as though we have bracketed off the present from both the past and the future, for we are neither here nor there ... but we have not embraced the future either. We have done the human thing: We are clinging to the known past in fear of the unknown future.”
~ John Naisbitt, Megatrends: Ten New Directions Transforming Our Lives (1982).
