Welcome to The Sixth Wave

a book by James Bradfield Moody and Bianca Nogrady

Since the Industrial Revolution, the tide of progress has ebbed and flowed: five distinct waves, each starting with disruptive new technologies and ending with a global depression, have transformed our industries, societies and economies almost beyond recognition. We are now on the cusp of another massive transformation – the sixth wave.
In this wave a spectacular boom in technology and powerful new markets will drive a shift away from resource dependence to a new way of life: resource efficiency. Waste will be a source of opportunity and nature a source of inspiration.
THE SIXTH WAVE is a business book, a motivational book, a bold prediction and a roadmap to the future. It is for anyone interested in understanding how the next wave of innovation will change our lives, and how to succeed in a resource-limited world.

Sir Nicholas Stern, author of the 2006 Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, has this to say about The Sixth Wave: "“The Sixth Wave” looks forward to the grave risks to the planet that will arise if we continue with business-as-usual and back to the lessons from the economic history of industrial revolutions. When we put the two together we see not only that we must change our ways but also that the transition to low-carbon growth and low-carbon growth itself will be dynamic, innovative and attractive. This is a thoughtful, careful, wise and very important book”.
