The Doomsday Funbook - Introduction

Special Offer : free postage and packing for our readers !

As EG states in his introduction,

"The editorials are serious stuff - usually very worrying, often very depressing and sometimes infuriating. However there is a humorous side to the sheer ineptitude of our political and industrial leaders and of their pathological inability to tell the truth on the horrific implications of the policies they impose on us. Richard Willson, we think, has mastered the art of expressing this in his satirical drawings.

Though The Doomsday Fun Book covers but a small number of the social and environmental issues The Ecologist has dealt with in the last 35 years, it makes one thing clear: 'economic development', contrary to what we have been told, is the cause of, rather than the solution to, the ever more daunting problems we face today. This suggest we can only hope to solve them by moving our society in the very opposite direction to that in which we are moving today: towards a community-based, very much more self-sufficient and hence highly decentralised society."
