About this episode

This episode compares and contrasts capitalism with technocracy, arguing for the need for reforms to integrate science and technology into economic models.

In this episode, I continue my ongoing series on Technocracy, which is extracted from my recent book THE COMING WORLD NATION. The focus of today’s discussion is on comparing and contrasting capitalism with technocracy. In particular, I argue that capitalism and democracy are products of the pre-industrial and pre-scientific ages and thus require fundamental reforms before they can integrate science and technology optimally. The result of these reforms brings us to technocracy, which aims for a scientific, energy-based approach to resource allocation. Key topics in this discussion include: the inherent inefficiencies of current economic models; the inherent shortcomings of bureaucracies; how technocracy emerges as an innovation to both; and how the true vision for technocracy can’t be achieved until the classified science held within America’s black projects underworld is released. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 02:36 The Emergence of Technocracy 06:34 Technocracy's Unique Economic Approach 11:45 Technocracy vs. Bureaucracy 20:24 The Future of Governance www.alexsachon.com thewisdomtradition.substack.com
