Your country or your firm is trying to figure out a strategy for the future? The future is difficult to gauge as technology and circumstances are changing more and more quickly--monetary and statistical metrics are useless bases for decision-making; what seemed valuable yesterday becomes worthless tomorrow. Your time is severely limited. What do you do?

    For starters, dedicate about 4 hours to reading this book. In it, Lyndon LaRouche, the most successful economist of all time, lays out the negentropic global process which underlies the progress of mankind.  Behind the apparent rapid changes in society and economy lies an invariant process which Riemannian analysis makes intelligible.  

After reading this fairly short book, you will still face problems, but you will see the real basis for making decisions which lead to growth and development of your nation or firm.
