Filters Against Folly: How To Survive Despite Economists, Ecologists, and the Merely Eloquent ReviewGarrett Hardin (now deceased) was a member of the rare species, an economically literate ecologist. He was also something of a heretic within the environmental movement, ...if you can even say he was part of that 'movement'.
Hardin made himself politically incorrect amongst "greens" by taking the Malthusian predictions of the movement to their logical conclusion. He was an advocate of tough population control, something that is not the same as birth control; he argued for immigration restrictions, reduced foreign aid and believed the admission of refugees was ecological stupidity. The mainstream of the green movement, if they recognise these issues at all, certainly like to soft pedal on the policy conclusions.
In this volume, that certainly deserves a wider audience, Hardin does not present his policy prescriptions in one big feast, at least not directly. He does sprinkle them lightly through the book, ...but even those who take an opposite viewpoint will not be disappointed by the taste.
He gives us what is essentially a "How To" guide, a book about thinking. He outlines a series of thinking aids, "filters", to help us avoid "folly". The filters are useful not just in dealing with the life and death issues of world population, but in everyday personal and even business problem solving.
Hardin's easy-to-remember tool kit provides us with a broader perspective and thus helps the reader make better decisions.
This is the kind of book you buy an additional copy of to give or lend to friends, because you don't want to lose yours.Filters Against Folly: How To Survive Despite Economists, Ecologists, and the Merely Eloquent Overview
