The Power of the Machine: Global Inequalities Of Economy, Technology, And Environment by Alf Hornborg
English | 9 Oct. 2001 | ISBN: 0759100675 | 288 Pages | PDF | 4 MB

Hornborg argues that we are caught in a collective illusion about the nature of modern technology that prevents us from imagining solutions to our economic and environmental crises other than technocratic fixes. He demonstrates how the power of the machine generates increasingly asymmetrical exchanges and distribution of resources and risks between distant populations and ecosystems, and thus an increasingly polarized world order.
