Sustainable Abundance is not a forecast, but a possibility, a scenario
that will follow the same format as the other scenarios described in
Chapter 4. It assembles all the pieces of the puzzle identified up to
this point. Sustainable Abundance will be explored through 'A Visit
to the Stanford Campus'. This story highlights the role of three
overlapping waves - a Value-Shift Wave, an Information Wave and a
Money Wave - in creating Sustainable Abundance. In conclusion, the
relationships between Sustainable Abundance and the other
scenarios outlined earlier are analysed.

accidental time travel to the campus of Stanford University on the
first day of the academic year. Here is a report of what I found.
