    • 2011, Marvin Harris, Why Nothing Works: The Anthropology of Daily Life, Simon and Schuster, →ISBN, page vi:
      Although I do not pretend to be a futurologist, I would be embarrassed if my view of the trends and causes of social life in the United States had become invalid in such a short interval.
