Title: A Reverse Cassandra
Review: Cassandra was able to foresee the future but was cursed in being unable to make anyone listen to her. Ehrlich has never been right and people keep on listening to him.Had Ehrlich's 1968 predictions in "The Population Bomb" been right, we would now be stumbling around in a sea of smog killing one another for the few scraps of food we could find. On the other hand, had we adopted the draconian measures Ehrlich proposed in "The Population Bomb", the environment might be as good as it is now and Ehrlich would be declaring victory. However, the price we would have paid in individual liberty and standard of living would have made it a hollow victory.
