Sobre IBD

Looking beneath the surface of today’s news stories, we can discern an explosive mixture - SPACE AGE SCIENCE AND STONE AGE POLITICS. This book discusses the tensions created by the rapid rate of scientific and technological change, contrasted with the slow rate of change of our political institutions. Because of the enourmous destructive power of modern weapons, and because of today’s instantaneous global communication, the institution of war has become a dangerous anachronism, and indeed the absolutely-sovereign nation-state has also become an anachronism. 'Space-Age Science and Stone-Age Politics' discusses the steps we must take to harmonize our social and political institutions witht the constantly accelerating achievements of science and technology.
