The author is an advocate of the Western mindset and believes that the virtues of Western Civilization (justice, wisdom, tolerance, and courage) must be promoted to ensure a progressive future. With each scenario, the "Greece, The Next 300 Years" offers suggestions for meeting the future with a plan for Greece to promote the well being of Hellenism and lessen the impact of a dangerous new world. Book Review by Athens News Predicting Greece's Future Ever wondered what will happen to Greece in the future? The scenarios you can think of are many, but how about reading someone else's predictions--even if it's just for fun. In Greece, the Next 300 Years, (Cosmos Publising), Stephen Tzikas provides a comprehensive look at what we can expect Greece and the world to be like over the next 300 years. He combines his technological background and career expertise, his experiences of living and travelling around the world, and his interests and knowledge in Greek history and politics to predict the social and political possibilities of the future. Tzikas explores a variety of possible scenarios, including how our economies may be revolutionised in the near future; how democracy may come under threat by technology, even in the United States; how Marxism may challenge the world capitalist system; how Greece's relations with her neighbours and the world could be played out; how the Greek Orthodox Church may change warfare of the future; how contact with extraterrestrial life could doom man; and how a natural or nuclear disaster could devastate our planet. This book speculates about the future of Greece and the world and what can be done to maximise peace, prosperity, and well being. Tzikas seems to believe thaat Greece is in a fortunate position to succeed in the future. He focuses on the image of a modern world which is dominated by the West, and which in essence, has Hellenic roots. Tzikas argues that the world is Hellenised, the Greek presence is everywhere. He even believes that what some people call the cultural influence of the United States is in fact a reflection of the cultural influence of Greece. An interesting read, if taken from a 'theoretical' point of view.
