In a historically and very accurate accurate description of the 1930s Technocracy movement, the author concludes, “it would be wrong to dismiss Technocracy Incorporated as just another failed utopian scheme”.
The level of meticulous detail in this article shows the author’s deep understanding of Technocracy, its history and its claims. He sees the modern attraction of libertarian thinking among technocrats and acknowledges the growth or Technocracy while alluding to Technopopulism: “While the number of technocrats in government is on the rise, so, too, is the number of populist politicians who wear their lack of expertise like a badge of honour.”
His anti-populist bias pops out again with the statements: “But there’s been a price for not listening to the experts. Countries run by populist leaders of various shades – particularly the U.S., Brazil and the U.K. – have recorded among the highest COVID-19 death rates.”.
Nevertheless, after exposing the failures and fallacies of Technocracy, Basen concludes that “it would be wrong to dismiss” it. This is a very clever journalistic style that plants the seeds of propaganda deep into the unsuspecting reader’s mind. ⁃ TN Editor
