任何持续增长的时期都会带来乌托邦空想家。例如,60年代的繁荣使美国准备向贫困宣战。目前,乌托邦在很大程度上像是硅谷的全球版本——至少对《长期繁荣》一书的作者来说是如此。施瓦茨、莱登和海厄特分别是旧金山湾地区的咨询顾问、记者和企业家,他们描述了地球上的现代天堂。他们说,《长期繁荣》是“对一个更好、更昌盛和更和平的世界的一种看法”。他们认为,该书“不是一种预言”,而是一本规劝式小册子。他们希望通过陈述对未来的积极看法,能增加这种未来发生的机会。

Any period of increasing growth will bring utopian visionaries. For example, the prosperity of the 1960s prepared the United States to declare war on poverty. At present, utopia is largely like the global version of Silicon Valley - at least for the author of The Long Term Prosperity. Schwartz, Leiden and Haiote are San Francisco Bay area consultants, journalists and entrepreneurs who describe the modern paradise on Earth. They say “long-term prosperity” is “a view on a better, more prosperous and more peaceful world.” They think the book is “not a prophecy,” but an advisory booklet. They hope that this positive opportunity for the future can be increased by stating a positive view of the future.
