Présentation de l'éditeur
The author of these lectures, an ex-soldier, has something to say about the Man-P ower problem and presents a side of it that cannot fail to appeal very strongly indeed to all thoughtful people. He came to work in India at the suggestion of my distinguished fellow countryman Sir Rabindranath Tagore, because he thinks that India must play an important part in developments that we all hope to see when peace is restored. He has made some substantial advance towards carrying out his ideas, and has enlisted the support in various ways of a great many of the most prominent and advanced men in the country. In commending his suggestions to men of culture at this critical time, I am able to point out that they have been developed in his previous books published in English and in French and reviewed by eminent economists and in leading publications in Europe and in A merica. Suggestions that have been eulogised by such men as Sir Horace Plunkett as an economist and the late Lord Roberts as a soldier may be confidently recommended in this carefully condensed form for thoughtful consideration.

Man and Machine Power in War and Reconstruction (Classic Reprint)

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between man and machine power in the context of war and reconstruction, particularly in India. The author argues that an improved understanding and application of this subject can help solve the social and economic problems that have historically plagued society. The book highlights that modern industrial methods have created immense wealth-creating power, but this power has often failed to benefit the average person due to a combination of various factors, including wasteful methods, capitalist limitations, and an unwillingness to address the underlying issues through intelligent and prompt attention to the problem. The author stresses that the First World War has revealed both the devastating potential and the immense possibilities for social progress when human ingenuity is focused on meeting urgent needs. The book discusses how this wartime experience can be applied to peacetime endeavors. It explores the potential of labor colonies, similar to the successful Swiss model, to provide industrial training, increase productivity, and reduce poverty by harnessing modern methods and promoting a spirit of cooperation. The author believes that this approach can revolutionize education, enable the utilization of both skilled and unskilled workers, and empower individuals from all backgrounds to contribute to society. Ultimately, the book argues that we must embrace a new era of technological advancement and social responsibility. By understanding the relationship between man and machine power, we can harness our collective strength to create a more just and prosperous society, both during and after times of crisis.
