The American economy has been turned upside down during the past decade in one of the most tumultuous economic revolutions in world history. The result: the United States has put more distance between itself and its commercial rivals than anyone imagined possible. Annual growth in the U.S. economy matches the size of whole countries. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has reached once-unthinkable heights. Three-quarters of the world's top fifty companies are now American.

In FutureWealth, a superbly researched book, the authors provide a startling new way of looking at America's success. The reason for our exceptional performance is the breathtaking pace at which U.S. companies today substitute information for all other resources at their disposal. The authors explore major companies that have substituted information throughout their operations. They also show how the results have been dramatic in those companies' expanded bottom lines and rising stock valuations-- and how investors can both learn and profit from the information revolution around us.

FutureWealth is a landmark book and a very timely read for investors, managers, and policy makers the world over.

Review:
Two leading seers of the Internet predict the best investment opportunities for the next decade in FutureWealth. Francis McInerney and Sean White believe the plummeting cost of information is revolutionizing the world's economy and creating fantastic potential for wealth creation. "Throughout history, wealth has been generated by one fundamental force: the falling cost of information," write McInerney and White, advisers in the telecommunications industry for financial institutions and other investors. "Those who have known how to harness it have made fortunes. Those who have not have been destroyed."

McInerney and White point out that consumers are getting more and more clout in the marketplace because of the collapsing price of computers and other technologies. In an era that will be dominated by consumers, companies must be deft at using the Internet to cut distribution time and reach customers directly. The best-positioned companies are Cisco Systems, Dell Computer, Charles Schwab, and Wal-Mart. All enjoy great cash flow, tremendous market share, rapid growth, and strong brands that will thrive in the global economy. The authors also like Amazon.com, Sprint, and Sony. On the other hand, they see uncertain futures for giants such as AT&T, Intel, and Yahoo! While Yahoo! boasts a global brand, for example, it is also dangerously reliant on advertising, an unproven revenue source on the Internet.

A quick read backed by impressive research, FutureWealth is a fascinating account for investors or anyone interested in some of the trends and top companies that are driving the Internet economy. --Dan Ring

From the Publisher:
"McInerney and White have given us a clear perspective on how and why we are where we aer, but, more important, on where we are going in all major industires. If you have wealth and would like to keep it in the twenty-first century, FutureWealth is a must-read. And if you are just starting to accumulate wealth, you'd better read it quickly." James Bowe, CEO, The New York Board of Trade
