Synopsis

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.

  • See how instinct and economics intertwine, and why the book argues for shifting from money-driven schemes to productive skill.
  • Learn about the triad of Strength, Cunning, and Skill, and how they contend for control in history and in today’s economy.
  • Understand criticisms of capitalism under stress and the author’s vision of a new social order built on skill and purposeful work.
  • Explore the idea of freedom as choosing how to use nature’s forces, with practical examples from biology and industry.
Ideal for readers of political economy, social theory, and readers curious about technocratic approaches to society.
