Do extreme, unethical governmental policies often produce results
opposite to those intended? This book considers the ironic outcomes
of recent global events and concludes that there is a 'rule of
reverse results' at work. While not a hard and fast law, the rule
points out the increased probability that a policy will backfire if
it is immoral while ethical policies, even if extreme, are unlikely
to produce reverse results. The issue here is that of increased
likelihood but not of certainty. Governments can never be sure as
to the effects of their actions: to some extent they are always
working in the dark. But if the motivation is right, moral and
humane the policies will not often produce adverse results the
opposite of those intended. Based on events in global history in
the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries the chapters can each be
read individually, as well as being part of the argument.
