Abstract
[Extract] Making bold predictions about the future, or offering defini¬tive solutions to complex social and environmental problems is a dangerous, if not foolhardy, enterprise. One thing we can be confident about, however, is that the best way to ensure the continuation of existing trends toward depopulation, negative incomes, poor health, increasing debt, etc., is to maintain the status quo in terms of government and industry policy. The extreme economic rationalist argument that deregulation hasn't worked yet simply because it hasn't gone far enough -that governments have lost their nerve while farmers have tied up resources by not responding rationally to market signals to sell up and leave is circular and nonsensical. More of the same results in more of the same.
