In fact most workers have become economic puppets who dance 2 the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management. The worker and employee are anxious 3 because they might find themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real 4 or interest in life. They live and die without ever having 5 the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and 6 human being.
Those higher up on the social ladder are 7 anxious. They are even more 8 in some respects. To be promoted or to fall behind is not 9 a matter of salary as of self-respect. When they apply for their first job they are 10 for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of 11 and independence. From that moment on they are tested again and again-by the psychologists 12 testing is a big business and by their superiors who judge their behavior sociability capacity to 13 etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as 14 not better one’s fellow-competitor creates constant 15 and stress the 16 causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting that we should return to the pre-industrial mode of production? 17 I suggest transforming our social system form a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which 18 production and consumption are ends in themselves 19 a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities are the 20 of all social arrangements
