Abstract

This paper analyzes the future predictions and the plans presented in the book "The Year 2000: a framework for Speculation on the next thirty-three years" by the futurologists Herman Kahn and Anthony J. Wiener. This article is part of a broader study regarding the theories of development and the visions of the future produced throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Our reflections on the future are made on the basis of Koselleck's concepts and interpretative structure. We also understand these interpretations on the future are some form of reflection and interpretation about the history, since they cannot abandon the past. These visions of the future, therefore, do not deal exclusively with the future, but also approach the understanding of the past and the organization of the present. In this paper, we seek to delineate the treatment of the world organization presented in the book and its reflections about Latin America. We relate these arguments with the proposed guidelines for American action that were justified by the future, nonetheless aimed present actions.
