Os Profetas e os Feiticeiros

ASilvestre

Um livro que expõe os problemas (ex.: como alimentar, fornecer energia a 10 mil milhões de pessoas sem aumentar ao mesmo tempo as emissões de dióxido de carbono) que a humanidade irá enfrentar a breve trecho e as duas perspectivas dominantes sobre como responder a esses mesmos problemas. De um lado temos os Profetas personificados pelo William Vogt, o " o pai do movimento ambientalista moderno", que enfatiza os limites ao crescimento e a necessidade de reduzir, reutilizar e reciclar, do outro os Feiticeiros encabeçados pelo Norman Borlaug, o ideólogo da chamada Revolução Verde, que sublinha as potencialidades da tecnologia com a qual podemos reinventar o mundo e o homem e ultrapassar as limitações com que actualmente vivemos. Definitivamente recomendado.
