Take-off in France (1973) (Futures of Yesteryear)
Herman Kahn
In the early 1970s the Hudson Institute, which was created by the famous American futurologist Herman Kahn, carried out for the French government a study of “the wealth of France and the future of Europe”, which caused a stir when the results were published in 1973 under the title L’Envol de la France dans les années 1980 [Take-off in France in the 1980s], co-authored by Edmund Stillman, James Bellini, William Pfaff, Laurence Schloesing and Jonathan Story. We have selected from Herman Kahn’s preface and from the report itself several extracts that seem interesting to read thirty years on.
