520 _a"A Year of Prophesying" by H. G. Wells is a collection of newspaper columns written in 1923 and 1924. Following his success with "The Outline of History," Wells turned his analytical eye to contemporary politics and social issues. These 55 articles explore topics from international tensions and labor movements to education reform and wildlife conservation. Wells offers provocative forecasts about global conflicts, fascism, economic policy, and the future of socialism that proved remarkably prescient for their time.
