This volume was conceived out of the concern with what the imminent
future holds for the "have" countries ... those societies, such as
the United States, which are based on complex technology and a high
level of energy consumption. Even the most sanguine projection
includes as base minimum relatively rapid and radical change in all
aspects of the society, reflecting adaptation or reactions to
demands created by poten tial threat to the technological base,
sources of energy, to the life-support system itself. Whatever the
source of these threats-whether they are the result of politically
endogeneous or exogeneous forces-they will elicit changes in our
social institutions; changes resulting not only from attempts to
adapt but also from unintended consequences of failures to adapt.
One reasonable assumption is that whatever the future holds for us,
we would prefer to live in a world of minimal suffering with the
greatest opportunity for fulfilling the human potential. The
question then becomes one of how we can provide for these goals in
that scenario for the imminent future ... a world of threat,
change, need to adapt, diminishing access to that which has been
familiar, comfortable, needed."
