198 pages including index. If all democrats acted intelligently, this is the future which everybody now under the age of fifty could enjoy. Projects a computer world where people are free to move to places offering the lifestyles they prefer, and where the range of individual choice is huge. The interfering bureaucratic national governments of the 1980s are almost dead. Small self-ruling communities buy such services as crime prevention or environmental protection from entrepreneurial performance-contractors, or can choose participatory government by referendum. Author has been deputy editor of The Economist since 1965. Book unmarked with very light wear and small stain to bottom corner of back board. Dust jacket moderately worn. Book

brossura Oggi si cerca di rievocare il tempo della civiltà contadina, quella cultura, quel mondo, anche mediante insulse rappresentazioni di quegli eventi non più ripetibili, neanche nei tanti musei dove si continua ad accatastare oggetti e manufatti, forme immobili, icone di un passato lontano, incapaci di rievocare la pur minima sensazione fisica del sudore che attrezzi di quel genere erano capaci di far sgorgare dalla rugosa fronte di un contadino. Quando le radici vengono divelte e la stessa terra non è più un bene primario, appare del tutto anacronistico rappresentare una commedia che ha perso la trama e perfino l'ordito.
