"Based on the largely unseen business of trends such as trend forecasting, cool hunting, professional futurism, and 'design thinking', 'On Trends' uncovers how rapid sociocultural transformations transformed from existential threat to business opportunity, as a class of professionals emerged to identify, anticipate, and marketize cultural change.
