HAK:

For those unwilling or unable to manage their own investments directly, the financial future will be much more difficult, according to this book. Intermediaries (such as investment advisors, account executives) will go the way of the dinosaurs, leaving everyone to do their own day-trading. Risk-taking is the way to make money, conservative investors will be left behind. Sounds awful -- but I suppose it is what we have to look forward to. It's a totally depressing book!

How about:

"The internet revolution has so altered the economic foundations of the post-industrial society that entirely new ways of looking at wealth are evolving. FUTURE WEALTH, by Stan Davis and Christopher Meyer, discusses the impact of global electronic markets on the individual investor as well as on corporations and provides a valuable guide to the far-ranging and sometimes daunting financial and social transformations ahead."

Dear Henry:

I want to thank you for your compliment regarding my presentation to the International Advisory Council, at The Chase Manhattan Bank a few weeks ago. I hope that you enjoy reading my book, *BLUR*, which Tom and Bill gave to you after my talk.

My other purpose here is to enclose the preproofed copy of my next book, *Future Wealth*, that we spoke of that day. I would be very grateful if you would consider writing a one or two sentence endorsement for the book jacket.

While *BLUR* deals with real goods and services, *Future Wealth* is about the financial dimension of the economy. The basic premise of the book is that deep structural shifts in financial markets and in economic value are profoundly altering the nature of wealth, transforming ordinary individuals into stewards of their own financial futures, changing all corporations into risk managers, and causing all societies to revalue how they balance freedom and order.

Our vision is based on three major consequences of the newly connected economy: risk as an opportunity, not a threat; the growing efficiency of financial markets for human capital; and the need for new forms of social capital. These three developments are combining in ways that will forever change how individuals, companies, and societies create, accumulate, control, and distribute wealth.

Wealth creation in the Information Age has been more financial (bearing, trading, and managing risks) than real (producing and consuming goods); wealth accumulation is shifting from income that is earned (salaries) to unearned (investments); the oxymoron of "middle class wealth" is becoming a powerful reality; and control of wealth is shifting from institutions to individuals. As of mid-1998, for example, American households controlled 59% of all stocks held in the nation--a figure that underscores a fundamental new truth: *wealth is not just for the wealthy anymore*.

*Future Wealth's* publication date is April 10, 2000, and I need the endorsement by January 3rd. I hope you enjoy this book as much as you did my presentation at Chase, and will be kind enough to write an endorsement. With limited time, you might have particular interest in chapters 1, 2, 3, 13 & 14. Thank you again, very much, for your kindness and interest.
