T1 - Ideologicheskie interpretatsii nauchno-tekhnicheskoy revolutsii [Ideological Interpretations of the Scientific-Technological Revolution], JF - Kommunist, Vol. 54 (No. 13 (1149), Sept. 1978), pp. 102-111. N2 - The successes of socialism are more notable when compared to the profound crisis of international capitalism and its spiritual degradation. The West is currently struggling with problems of implementing high technology, often capable of effecting substantial economic and social transformations. Special attention is given to the concept of technocracy. Many bourgeois social scientists, eg, Leslie White, have pointed toward the absolute role of science and technology in determining the social system. Both optimistic and pessimistic appraisals are offered by contemporary bourgeois scholars, including Ellul, Douglas, FROMM, Mamford, Toffler, Drucker, Wiener, and Bell. Y1 - 1978 ER -
