This collection of essays explores the history of control by
looking at a variety of cultural forms, practices, and
beliefs.These ideas are examined critically, not only in the light
of the possibilities which control technologies seem to offer for
resolving human problems, but also the contradictory moral,
political, and economic consequences they have had. The discussion
takes into account the important modes in which humans have cast
their organizational efforts: political, social, psychological,
economic, and legal. It also takes a "longue" "duree" view of the
history of control, looking back to the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries, and establishes the continuities in the twentieth
century as a transatlantic phenomenon.
