Abstract

Resistance to technological change is less violent now than the machine‐smashing episodes of the last century. But the actions — or inactions — of today's ‘Luddites’ are potentially more damaging to industrial development. Stanley Alderson looks at the background to the latter‐day men versus machines conflict and suggests ways in which it can be resolved.
