Having learned the lessons of the last few disastrous years, the contributors of these thirteen articles focus on democratic, equitable, and sustainable growth and innovation, call for it, and
suggest methods to go back to it. They describe the increased pace of innovation in the twenty-first century. They describe the precepts behind responsible innovations, value-sense design,
increased dialog and debate, and creative anticipation and describe understanding the ethical issues, adaptive governance, multilevel dynamics and soft intervention, implications in finance,
and information and communication technology. The collection closes by identifying and engaging a geo-engineering vision, and discusses hype and expectations which will probably get in the way.
