Passig identifies the direction in which the Jewish people and their future leaders will develop. Since the Jewish people have never experienced modern sovereignty before, it promises to usher in far-reaching changes.
Making a diagnosis of a national neurosis as the cause for four previous fiascos in Jewish history, Passig explains what must be done in the twenty-first century to prevent the dark forces of the past from recurring, and explores the changes awaiting the Jewish religion and nation in the Land of Israel.
The Fifth Fiasco is the latest in a series of Passig’s books about the future, which aim to help readers understand how to spot trends before they mature—and how to leverage opportunities and avoid predictable pitfalls.
