CHANGES AHEAD
One of the most perplexing things about living in 1983 is that the world's leading thinkers seem quite unable to make up their minda whether we are approaching a sunset or a dawn. If you study all the books, magazine articles and interview in which thought- ful mon try to appraise the re- sont situation you will find two schools of thought represented. According to one school, the end of all things is nt hand, and a great darkness is about to settle down over the waters. Capitalism is done for, western civilisation is about to collapse and the world is
about to enter a new dark ́age.
