Michael Flynn continues to work with economic/mathematical predictive models of the future that are dead on target. In this book, he (correctly) predicts a recession leading to a small war in the year 2001-2 from the time of his authorship in the mid-1990s.

Perhaps more importantly, Flynn spends a lot of time showing us how the educational system would change if he were in charge. He seems to have a bit of utopian overconfidence in privatization, but some of his ideas about education (competitive, interdisciplinary, cooperative, hands on, with an emphasis on learning how to do business and succeed) are right on IMHO.
