Discover a bold plan for rethinking society through science and human motives.
This nonfiction work, drawn from the Technocracy series, analyzes the four core human urges—to live, to construct, to control, and to take—and argues they shape modern social life as they did in the past. It frames a path for reconstruction around a national leadership of scientists and a practical, nature-based approach to social order.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of societal unrest, exploring the forces that drive it and the principles behind its movements. The author traces the evolution of economic control, from the dominance of brute force in the pre-human era to the rise of cunning and the eventual emergence of skill as a significant factor in the industrial age. Against the backdrop of World War I, the author critically examines the shortcomings of capitalism and proposes a new social order ââ â 'Artizanism' ââ â where purposeful skill takes center stage. However, the author argues that true progress lies beyond any single instinct-driven system. This book introduces the concept of 'Technocracy', a system of national industrial management that harnesses the collective knowledge and skills of scientists, technologists, and skilled individuals. By unifying these forces under a common national purpose, the author envisions a society that transcends the limitations of past economic models and paves the way for a more rational and harmonious future. Ultimately, the book's insights challenge us to reimagine the foundations of our society, offering a compelling vision for a future where human potential is fully realized and progress is guided by knowledge and collaboration.
