Dept. of ethnologica, kerleone, April 28, 2003 at 11:01:34 PM CEST Why Do Some Societies Make Disastrous Decisions?? 
Jared Diamond, Professor of Geography at the University of California, and Pulitzer Prize Winner wrote an excellent, must-read short essay about how it is possbile, that societies can't solve their environmental problems, even if the society will collapse otherwise. The essay is published in one of the most famous intellectual magazines of the internet, edge.org. It's of high anthropological interest, as he accomplishes to proove his theory by a lot of indingeous and ancient cultures like maya and easter islanders as well as western ones like the current USA and last century germany.
