What do we one the future? the construction of a better present

Forum for Social Economics, 1998, vol. 27, issue 2, 15-21

Abstract: The debt-to-the-future issue is discussed taking into account that it is not simply a poetic or innocent statement but a present complex problem. An analytical approach through the issue of risk and uncertainty might allow us to delimit our reflection. At the same time, it might become the main axis in the reality we face today, since risk, reliability, and uncertainty appear as characteristic features of modern society. Participatory processes, as manifestations of post-normal science, are proposed as a way to cope with uncertainty.
