Uncertainties in the Composition of World Population in the Twenty-First Century
Past interest in long-range global population projections has been almost exclusively centered on future population size and, to some extent, on changes in the age structure. Uncertainties concerning future demographic dynamics are typically dealt with by preparing multiple projections, distinguished by differing fertility trajectories ranging from high to low. The usual assumption, that the constituting units of the global population- countries …
What is Happening in History
We usually think of description and prediction as two different things, but are they really so disconnected? Suppose I report that the temperature now is 65 degrees—that is description without prediction. But if I say that it is noon on a Spring day and the temperature is 65 degrees—that is still description, but haven't I really also made some predictions? Aren't I, in effect, predicting that during the next 12 hours the temperature will fall, b…

Moral Standards Under Pressure: The Israeli Army and the Intifada
“The PLO practice of hiding behind civilians has produced severe tests for the IDF [Israeli Defense Force].” Have Israeli soldiers abandoned their moral obligations in war during the time of Intifada? The moral code of the “purity” of arms ( tohar haneshek ) has served as an absolute standard for the Israeli Army since the creation of Israel. The author emphasizes that although televised beatings of Palestinian women and children have caused an o…

Passage to a Human World: The Dynamics of Creating Global Wealth
convincingly demonstrates that econ-omic growth is the central reality of the modern era... His arguments are sometimes subtle, but he walks the reader through them with schematized subheadings, summaries, and relentless patience. --Peter Brimelow, The Wall Street Journal Responding to the Club of Rome's Limit to Growth and its successors, Singer argues that the dominant characteristic of the modern era is almost completely unrecognized: the worl…
The Myth of Scarcity
Some Speculations on U.S. Drug Use
This paper distinguishes three principal purposes of drug use: for social control, for pleasure, and for medical and quasi‐medical reasons. The argument is made that a traditional view of the future as a leisure society may lead us to focus disproportionately on forms of drug use that have a pleasure or “mind expansion” motive. While acknowledging the likelihood of more drug use of these kinds, the authors offer a number of reasons why the greate…
