About This Item
New York: Penguin Books [0-14-022039-9] 1986. (Trade paperback) 416pp. Very good. Notes, references, bibliography, index. The spine has a reading crease, a remainder mark on the bottom edge and a previous owner's blind stamp on the first page. "In recent years a chorus of futurologists has sprung up, some pessimistic, some not, but all seriously concerned with the future of industrial society. We are promised a 'post-industrial society'; we will be in 'future shock': the developed countries are on the verge of a new stage in history. Prophecy and Progress takes a close look at industrial society, past and present, in order to evaluate these multifarious claims". (Ideas, Anthropology, Future, Ideas, Industrial Revolution, Industrialization, Societies, Sociology).
