Technology and basic needs
proposal for a debate on fundamental criteria
pp. 101-109
Abstract
The critical account put forth here does not rest on any doubt about or underestimation of the role of technology in the progress of humanity. At the same time its role in advancing the forces of production for the benefit of humanity may have been perverted from its fundamental universality and placed in the service of a power struggle against the human majority.
