Power without Knowledge: A Critique of Technocracy
Friedman, Jeffrey (Visiting Scholar, Visiting Scholar, University of California-Berkeley)
Do leading social-scientific experts, or technocrats, know what they are doing? In Power without Knowledge, Jeffrey Friedman maintains that they do not. Friedman shows that people are too heterogeneous to act as predictably as technocracy requires of them. Technocratic reason, then, entails a drastically oversimplified understanding of human decision making in modern society.
