Summary Has modern technology had grown out of all proportion to man's need? We need a fresh view of life that recognizes the dignity of work and brings new work to people -- work that is not dependent on power-hungry, capital-hungry machines and factories. This volume questions many tenets held by first world economic experts, particularly their faith in massive industrial development that was energy- and capital-intensive, and often scarred the environment. The author's aim is to reintroduce the consideration of the human factor into the production process and to promote an appropriate technology for a variety of manufacturing situations.
