High Technologists at Lucas Aerospace, and factory workers at
Vickers seek to find out what can be produced instead of war
materials, in this classic study.'This book seeks to braid together
a number of threads. First, we take the thread of unemployment.
Second there is the thread of democracy: never more threatened than
at a time of social stress, democratic ideals are nonetheless
reasserting themselves. Thirdly, we follow the thread of unmet
social need: as men and women collectively gain ever greater
insight...It becomes plainer each day that vast achievements are
now possible in the fields of welfare, education and health.
Fourthly, we have the related thread of environmental concern.
Considered separately, each of these four threads is a thin
filament of moral concern, abstracted in all honesty from an
intolerable political and economic muddle. The problems which need
to be faced have often already been identified. But they can only
be resolved if these threads can be jointly seized, by large
numbers of people, so that all their distinct concerns may begin to
melt together, each reinforcing the other.' - Ken
Coates.Contributors to this book include: Mike Cooley, Michael
Barratt Brown, Steven Bodington,and Pete Thomas.
