Summary
Can we create ideas fast enough to solve the very problems - environmental, social, and technological - we have created? Homer-Dixon calls the gap between our need for practical and innovative ideas to solve our complex problems and our actual… supply of those ideas the "ingenuity gap". He argues that as the gap widens, political disintegration and violent upheaval can result and suggests ways to overcome these real problems before it is too late. Winner of the 2001 Governor General's Award for Non-fiction. 2000.
