The history of the future
Canadian non-fiction, Canadian authors (Non-fiction), History

Summary
A look at the way in which people in the past imagined their own future: prophets, self-proclaimed Christs, astrologers, witches, utopians and economists - all of whom predicted the future, and almost always got it wrong. The author argues that… prophecies tell us little or nothing about what will actually happen, but reveal a great deal about the changing hopes, fears, dreams and aspirations that informed the imagination of the past. 2000.
