Technocracy: The Hard Road to World Order

Rate this book
In 1974, Trilateral Commission member and academic Richard Gardner wrote an article "The Hard Road to World Order" for Foreign Affairs magazine, predicting the future of the Commission's self-proclaimed New International Economic Order. Gardner spoke of an "end-run around national sovereignty", a "booming, buzzing confusion" and building it from the "bottom up" rather than attempting an "old-fashioned frontal assault." After almost 45 years, it is time to examine the record. In Technocracy: The Hard Road to World Order, Wood traces the steps and developments that led to the United Nations' establishment of Sustainable Development as an outgrowth of historic Technocracy from the 1930s. UN programs such as 2030 Agenda, New Urban Agenda and the Paris Climate Agreement are all working together to displace Capitalism and Free Enterprise as the world's principal economic system. As a resource-based economic system, Sustainable Development intends to take control of all resources, all production and all consumption on planet earth, leaving all of its inhabitants to be micro-managed by a Scientific Dictatorship. Topics covered include the devolution of federal governments combined with the rise of global Smart Cities. Tools are examined, like ubiquitous surveillance, collaborative governance, Public-Private Partnerships, Reflexive Law, Fintech, including crypto currencies and the drive toward a cashless society. The spiritual aspect of Sustainable Development is also explored as an important component of manipulation. Looking underneath the cover of globalization, Wood shatters the false narrative of a promised Utopia and exposes the true nature of the deception used to promote this new economic order. Those elite who hate the bedrock of American liberty and its time-tested Constitution have pulled out all the stops to destroy both, and it's time for citizens to stand up to reject them. As always, Wood closes with the nature of effective resistance and the tools that can help to achieve success.

This is yet another book that discusses the rise of technocracy: the purported domination of the world through data-gathering and its applications in the establishment of a single world government. Touching on topics such as the Trilateral Commission, UN resolutions such as Agenda 21, and the machinations of the elite, powerful, and wealthy to create a technological society that the author considers counter to the US Constitution's provisions for individualistic self-rule, it seeks to convince the reader of the fallacy of such attempts.

As with many books of this type, it exists as a sort of "one-sided debate" which fails to examine any opposing views. As a reader, I could see many examples the author could have used to refute the claims of "technocrats" to the positive outcomes of the processes they promote. This was not, however, done. Perhaps in a future book, the author could examine the predictions of the "technocrats" versus the realities achieved to date.

Still, it's an informative book that touches on a topic most are unaware of. I recommend it as research reading for anyone concerned with the signs of our present times.

A remarkable dissection of a new world order. Programs like agenda 2030 and terms like sustainable development of the Trojan horses used to make you believe its for the greater good. The author breaks these wolves in sheep's clothing down exposing their true nature. This is simply a usurpation of democracy.

I've been listening to Patrick Wood discuss the rise of technocracy for a decade. And I believe he was talkin about it long before.
This book was written in 2018 now look around the world today, March 2021, we're in the midst of a Trojan horse being used to further the technocratic agenda. Years ago the author talked about the use of a pandemic, real but more sensationalized to provoke paralyzing fear, as has been done with this one. Having just reread the book it is unmistakable how contrived the response to this has been.

Please read the book, especially now, before it's too late!

A very interesting historical unpacking of the technocratic movement and how it is deeply relevant in todays world. However, as a word "technocracy" seems to be largely and perhaps dangerously overlooked in the greater conversations of todays world.

Highly recommended, if only for reference as Wood has collected many different citations of the globalist agenda in their own words and offers some insight on them. It is difficult to read, through no fault of the author, in that each and ever one of these so called plans and agendas reads more like a corporate resume as if they're trying to get a job by mesmerizing and spell-binding the reader with corporate-speak and 'feel good' sentiments that are ultimately nothing more than modern day siren songs of technocracy. The same lingo the average person rolls their eyes at when listening to a salesman at a car lot or electronics store but magically lose all their sense of BS detection and swoon at talking points that are designed to do nothing other than let you feel accepted as part of the club because you too, agree. Wake up humanity.

Definitely the worst title and cover art imaginable. Not representative of the content. As for the content, the best summation of UN policies/ideology/history I’ve encountered (albeit my second/thirdish). I consider myself to be an extreme optimist, yet this is only the case because of an equally present, deep pessimism. The more I learn about the global economic machine, the more it seems that it is birthed and maintained through conflict and the self-interest of a small circle of humans capable of both good and I’ll.

Giving it four stars for the important message and content, but I found it little annoying to read. Mr Patrick Wood spends a lot of time articulating the positions on the technocratic elite but only rarely gets to the “So what”, the why are they so bad. You could certainly glean that he feels a threat coming from technocracy but in this book he doesn't clearly state his conclusions.
