Our Study Guide:

The Technocracy "Continental Design" plan will suffice as a 'Study Guide.'  This is a Blueprint of a new method for social operation. It is a relatively large file and It's in what's called a "PDF" format. So you will need a "PDF" reader program, such as 'Adobe Reader' to view it. 

If you don't have Adobe Reader, go to www.adobe.com and download the program for free.

To download our 'Continental Design' plan, select the words "Download File" which is below this message.  You should then be brought to a window in which the File named 'Studyguide.pdf' should appear.  

You can then Select the name of the file, and open it, or Right-Click on the file name, and Left-Click on the choice of "Save Target As."  After downloading the file, you can of course open it later.  


If you were born 75 years ago:

Nazi leaders in Germany open their first concentration camp for political opponents. In New York, the American Jewish Committee demands that the U.S. government respond to the dangerous actions carried out by Hitler and Germany's new Nazi government. In other news, the Japanese government announces that it is leaving the League of Nations.

Back in 1933, the popular songs were: Dinner at Eight performed by Dorothy Fields; Easter Parade performed by Irving Berlin; I Wanna Be Loved sung by Billy Rose; as well as It Isn't Fair by Richard Himber. Also topping the musical charts: On the Trail by Ferdie Grofe; Shadow Waltz by Al Dubin; Temptation by Arthur Freed; and the ever popular Tony's Wife by Harold Adamson.

In 1933, a gallon of milk sold for $.41, a loaf of bread sold for $.07, a new car sold for $550.00, a gallon of gas sold for $.10, and a new house sold for $5,759.00. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was about 99.90.

In 2008, on average, a gallon of milk sells for about $3.83, a loaf of bread for $1.27, a new car for $23,225.00, a gallon of gas for $3.09, and a new house for $217,800.00. The Dow Jones Industrial Average about 12,442.83.

The average wage earner in 1933 made $1,487.00 per year, compared to $33,360.00 today.



 

 


Welcome To The Official Web Site of

Technocracy, Incorporated

If your thinking is like most concerned people, you will agree with most of what you read on this web site; now that's a change, right?   You'll probably agree that there's A LOT of things wrong with the present systems on this continent; economically, socially and politically.

If you agree with our findings, and proposals, then you'll probably also think "What can I do?" or "When can we start changing things?" You might also think, and rightfully so, "I'm tired of talking about, and hearing about all these problems; I want to do something instead of just talking about it."

With such large scale changes that are needed, the most immediate and effective way of bringing about Technocracy's proposals, would be to first, understand what Technocracy is about.  Then tell others about us, and hopefully start groups in your area.  If you will contact us by email, telephone, or from entering some information on our contact page, we'll get you started in the right direction, and supply you with the needed reading material. We'll stay with you until Technocracy is "ushered in" by the people.

If you live in fairly close proximity to a member of Technocracy, we can arrange to have that member speak before a group in your area.

 



What is Technocracy?



"Technocracy is science applied to society"

“Technocracy is technological social design”.

“Technocracy is a blueprint of a new method of social operation”.

These are brief descriptions of a very large subject.  Technocracy is proposing a fundamental change in both the economy and in forms of governance in North America.  So first, it is necessary to explain the need for such a change, and then to describe the change itself.

The U.S.A. and Canada together constitute a ‘high tech society’ of continental dimension…one in which the operation of our society is dependent on a vast array of installed technology and a high rate of energy conversion to run it. It is a continent-wide structure, a high energy ‘machine’, providing the means whereby we live.  It is manned by an ‘army’ of engineers, scientists, technicians and operators of many kinds, without which it would not continue.

Any serious interruption of this high-energy, high-velocity structure and its staff, which are our life support, would quickly result in massive loss of life and an irreversible collapse of our industrial society. The instabilities now developing in the financial structure plus the twin crises of Peak Oil and Global Warming threaten just such interruptions.  Such an interruption cannot be allowed to happen. 

But now, in 2008, it appears that such an event is probable.  With Peak Oil, (peak energy) and the Global Warming crisis now developing, it is becoming ever more apparent that our present form of economy and our present form of governance are structurally incapable of taking effective action.  A new administration, a ‘ Plan B’, is called for by an ever increasing and vocal group of writers, scientists, legislators, and ordinary citizens. Technocracy, we submit, is that ‘Plan B,' enabling a  continuance of the technology, with its operating staff, that will ensure our survival.  Here then is the ‘raison d’etre’ for Technocracy, the ‘Core Concept’ that defines it.



The  Core  Concept Of Technocracy

The core concept that is unique to Technocracy Inc .* (established 1934) is simply this: In a 'High Tech' society (such as North America) to ensure stability, and continuity, it will be necessary to institute measurement and control of the economy by energy units instead of monetary units (money), and management of the economy by energy budgets instead of money budgets, at all levels, including consumer credits. That's it!  Due to Peak Oil (and global warming) that need is here and now! Technocracy provides an energy efficient design for survival.  *(Founded by Howard Scott. 1890 – 1970)

The challenge facing our technological society in America is unprecedented and of such a magnitude that no one can avoid it and everyman will be involved in the struggle of our civilization to survive.  The following pages will present in some detail the design of the North American Technate and also of the membership organization- Technocracy Inc. - that brings it to the public.  You, as a member, can be part of this.


Our Objectives



"The objectives of Technocracy Inc. are that it is our job to keep ahead of the events and keep the public of this country and this Continent informed of the trend of events and technological design most capable of operating this complex on this Continent for the general welfare and common good -- to provide and distribute an abundance to everyone with a maximum of conservation of resources -- human and otherwise."
Said by our founder, Howard Scott, on June 23, 1950

"Whatever the future of Technocracy, one must fairly say that it is the only program of social and economic reconstruction which is in complete intellectual and technical accord with the age of which we live."

Technocracy has always insisted that the type of social operation it offers is not just desirable; it is necessary. Man cannot continue to live at all on this Continent without drastically changing his methods of management.

Technocracy Inc. has established this directory to help in obtaining the correct information of the scientific analysis and concepts established by the organization. The word "Technocracy" was the name given by the scientific investigative organization called the Technical Alliance to identify the concept of a scientific functionally controlled government. The Technical Alliance was the forerunner of Technocracy Incorporated. The organization of Technocracy Inc was established in 1933 as a non-political, non-profit volunteer membership organization to educate and inform the public of the results of the 13 years of scientific research by the Technical Alliance.

The Internet is an invaluable tool in enabling the public to access the original scientific investigation of the North American Continent by the Technical Alliance. The general usage of the Internet has led to some confusion because other individuals or organizations are also using the name "Technocracy". No other postings on the Internet are official Technocracy Inc. informational outlets.
