First we must clean up our own nest, is a message North Americans should carefully examine. While we travel the world over telling other nations how to run their systems, ours is sinking ever deeper into the quicksand of economic chaos. People seemingly do not feel that it is the system that is at fault, but feel instead that it is the abuses that are causing us problems. It should be recognized that there exists a close connection between the basic system, a Price System, and the resulting abuses. They blend into one and the same thing. Serious study shows that our social problems are inherent in the use of money, which is the beginning and end of human affairs in any Price System. It is correct to say that the social and economic impact of science and technology has rendered the Price System obsolete; the basic system has so changed that we are overwhelmed with all the problems.
The basic problem in the Price System is that science and technology have drastically changed the time rate of doing work. This problem will require major structural change and overhaul of the entire social system. This has created other basic problems that are not being addressed because we still prefer philosophical speculation rather than face the facts about what is endangering our survival in North America. The problems we face are the constrictions of money and the archaic method of politics. Applying yesterday's concepts to the realities of today and tomorrow is like building a modern skyscraper of sand and spit. We seem to be trying to continually prove that the political process can solve all our social problems. We have an educational system that is teaching people to live in the past. We promote a dead-end ideology here to place side by side with the others around the world that are also in deep trouble.
After over more than fifty years of scientific research, Technocracy Incorporated has made a Technological Social Design available to government and the public for an examination of the facts that show what must be done to avoid social chaos.
