The Technological System.
Norman Balbanian(1980):
The crisis is not a crisis withintechnological society which can be overcome by patching up the system, but a crisis of the technological system itself. The major question is not who is to control the means of production, but what the means of production shall be; and what shall be produced. It is not where to locate the nuclear power plants, but whether to have nuclear power at all. It is not merely a question of possibly limiting growth but of radically altering the very nature of technology.
