- Summary:
- Most people in the United States believe that our environment is getting dirtier, we are running out of natural resources, and population growth in the world is a burden and a threat. These beliefs, according to Simon, are entirely wrong. Why do the media report so much false bad news about the environment, resources, and population? And why do we believe it? Those are the questions distinguished scholar Julian L. Simon set out to answer in Hoodwinking the Nation. His purpose is not to preach but to examine. Most importantly, it aims to consider whether institutional structures can be changed in a way that would allow sanctions against undesirable practices and unethical behavior.
