Definition
"Technocracy is a proposal for a steady-state, post-scarcity economic system. It is intended for industrialized nations with sufficient natural, technological, and human resources to produce an economic abundance. Primarily this refers to the continent of North America, but may also apply to other areas today as well if they have acheived certain minimum criteria." (http://www.technocracy.ca/simp/begin.htm)
Attributes of a Technocratic society?
From http://www.technocracy.ca/simp/begin.htm :
There are many, but a few can be summarized here:
A thoroughly scientific method of control of the technology of our continent.
Democratic controls for all non-technical issues and decisions.
Maximum freedom for all citizens in terms of latitude of purchasing power and personal rights
Removal of methods of scarcity economics such as money, debt, value, and interest.
The elimination of political decision-making from technical affairs
Replacement of these methods with an empirical accounting of all physical resources, products, and services (called Energy Accounting).
Productive capacity many orders of magnitude higher than currently possible, without requiring any new equipment.
Decrease in human labor required to produce these amounts through proper use of automation.
Highest possible standard of living for ALL citizens in terms of income, housing, health care, education, and leisure.
Sustainable resource management through conservation and industrial efficiency
Elimination or vast reduction of various social ills, such as poverty, crime, pollution, insecurity, and disease.
