Patrick Wood is an author and expert on technocracy.
In 1939, The Technocrat magazine wrote:
Technocracy is the science of social engineering, the scientific operation of the entire social mechanism to produce and distribute goods and services to the entire population.
The magazine went on to explain that technocracy eschewed capitalism, free enterprise, elected politicians, and that it sought to create a resource-based economic system where scientists, engineers, and technicians would be the sole planners and controllers of society.
What is technocracy?
According to dictionary.com, technocracy is
a theory and movement, prominent about 1932, advocating control of industrial resources, reform of financial institutions, and reorganization of the social system, based on the findings of technologists and engineers.
His book, Technocracy, is one of my favourites. It gives the best overview of everything that is happening in the world right now, and it includes the historical context too, which is obviously important.
In our conversation, Patrick chats about
- the definition of technocracy;
- who the players are;
- how it all relates to the United Nations, World Economic Forum, Gates Foundation, and other groups;
- the Trilateral Commission;
- why technocrats are dangerous; and
- what we can do to push back.
This is one of the most important podcasts I’ve done.
