A fanatical socialist and author of prophetic writings, the main character awakes to see his dreams realized, and the future revealed to him in all its horrors and malformities.
The first four chapters by the editors create a "framework" for applying the policy sciences to problems of population policy. Succeeding chapters apply this framework to particular countries worldwide. The framework depends largely on Lasswell's policy sciences model. (p. 245)

"Population Change and policy Sciences: Proposed Workshops on Reciprocal Impact Analysis"[2]
Distinguishing between population decisions (public order) and choices (civic order), Lasswell suggests how the Universal Declaration of Human Rights can be used to examine values relative to population policies. He briefly outlines the policy sciences approach for contextual, problem-oriented, multi-method analysis. He indicates how a "conceptual map" developed from this approach can be used to analyze population issues. (p.247)

Knowledge Nation was the education policy of the
Australian Labor Party (ALP), launched just before the 2001 Federal Election by then ALP leader
Kim Beazley.
Barry Jones was the principle planner of the Knowledge Nation blueprint, as chair of the Chifley Research Centre's Knowledge Nation Taskforce. The most remembered element is a chart with many nodes and many tangled lines connecting these nodes, representing the many components of Australia's education system. This complicated chart prompted the ALP's opposing parties to dub the policy "Noodle Nation".
