Prosperity from Technology: A New Approach to Industrial Production, Money & the Environment
This thorough but readable book draws on the disciplines of engineering and allied technologies, economics, finance and accountancy, environment and industrial development, social science, politics and philosophy, resulting in a detailed examination which will appeal to experts in these fields and the general, well-educated reader alike.
Prosperity from Technology looks at the links between prosperity in society - and what we mean by that - and the ways in which a knowledge of technology can be used beneficially, rather than as an antidote to social ills and needs. New perspectives on environmental degradation and on political structures which inform technology help to produce a complex but easy-to-follow set of theories which will be as much of interest to the lay reader as they will be of practical use in managerial and industrial sectors.
