The Engineers and the Price System
Book • 1982
In 'The Engineers and the Price System', Thorstein Veblen critiques the price system and its effects on industrial society.
He argues that industrial output is more dependent on managers and engineers than financiers, and he proposes a plan for a 'soviet of technicians'.
The book was originally published in 1921 and reflects Veblen's views on the need for revolutionary change in managerial structures.
