This essay discusses Alvin and Heidi Toffler’s concept of “Revolutionary Wealth” and interprets wealth as a multidimensional phenomenon that goes beyond money to include knowledge, skills and education. Building on central arguments of the book, the text analyses three major drivers of transformation—technological progress, social change and economic restructuring—and critically contrasts selected forecasts with observable developments (e.g., automation, virtual communication, shifting family structures and productivity effects). The essay highlights both the explanatory power of the Tofflers’ paradigm shift and potential ambiguities regarding the normative stance and the distributional consequences of technology-driven growth.
