Has History a Future (An occasional paper - Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies)
Bullock, Alan Bullock

Aspen Institute, 1977

Social change taking place today seems so great and unprecedented that many feel a study of the past can no longer serve any purpose. This paper emphasizes that the present is necessarily always a grafting of the new onto the old, and considers the value of historical study) privately, as it enrichs the individual's life, and publicly, as it helps us all to better understanding of the problems of our time and better management of social change. ...
