5.0 out of 5 stars A very intelligent man., September 26, 2003

gerald a. spezio (san luis obispo, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blaming Technology: The Irrational Search for Scapegoats (Paperback)

Florman's chapter, The Gentle Sophistries of the Club of Rome, is a must read as an antidote to muddleheaded ideaism (idealism). A very intelligent attack on the "literary solutions" to environmental complexities by professed intelligent people.
