Futuristic governments: The Technocracy

The Technocracy rules the powers of reason and efficiency. This Union of enlightened scientists and philosophers seeks to bring order to the world: a perfect world under its careful guidance.

…

TECHNOCRACY is science in the social field. The Encyclopedia Americana has said: `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 in which we live.' The late H.G. Wells stated: `Essentially Technocracy is a soundly scientific effort to restate economics on a purely physical basis.' The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines Technocracy as an `Organization and management of a nation's industrial resources by technical experts for the good of the whole community.' These definitions all say much the same thing but in different words. The studies of Technocracy embrace the entire fields of science and industry. Biology, climate, natural resources, and industrial equipment all enter into the social picture. Technocracy is dealing with social phenomena in the widest sense of the word, including not only actions of human beings, but also everything which directly or indirectly affects their actions.
