The Ingenuity Gap by Thomas Homer-Dixon

In this text, the author shows us how, in our complex world, our own rich countries are no longer immune from the ingenuity gap, and we are all caught dangerously between a soaring requirement for ingenuity and an increasingly uncertain supply. Is our world becoming too complex and too fast-paced to manage? This book looks at the challenges facing human society in the 21st century, from international financial crisis and global climate change to the problems of tuberculosis and AIDS. The "ingenuity gap" is the gap between our need for practical solutions to complex problems and the actual supply of those solutions.
