Hoodwinking the Nation

TRAMA

An exploration of how and why false bad news is produced, stating that government reports are often the basis for environmental news scams and doomsday analyses. It examines the intellectual basis of concepts that lead to scares, and considers whether institutional structures could be changed.

NOTE EDITORE

Most people in the United States believe that our environment is getting dirtier, we are running out of natural resources, and population growth is a burden and a threat. These beliefs according to Simon, are entirely wrong. Why do the media report so much false bad news about these? And why do we believe it? Those are the questions distinguished scholar, Julian Simon set out to answer in this book.
