| description | David Wells asserts the moral right to be identified as the author of Errornomics and this pamphlet based on it.
Errornomics is a pre-book (by an analogy with academic pre-papers) of 214 pp. It is described on the cover as an author’s sketch because it is a record of work-in-progress. The most important arguments are laid out in detail; the less important are just sketched. It is based on the books, Power and Economics: the Failure of Ideology, [Wells 2001]; The End of Civilisation: Science, Ideology and Irrationality, [Wells 2003], both published by Rain Press, but develops their concepts much further and in new directions. |
