I found it in a free pile and was drawn in not by the worlds worst title but by the subtitle: "A Guide to Surviving the 80's." Bummer of a thesis. Written in 1978 and before, it didn't count on Reagonomics and the flight of the super right from the rest of us. But its super interesting, partly because I agree with some of it, partly because visions of the future/present from the past are incredibly instructive.
