N2  - "Prophets of Order goes beyond rhetoric to discover what makes this new class tick. By exploring the visions of the early Taylorites, Thorstein Veblen and other spokespersons for technocracy, and by bringing this historical perspective to bear upon the ideas of their current spokesperson, John Kenneth Galbraith, the author determines how the new class ideology undermines participatory planning and democracy. In a final section the author surveys current proposals for restructuring the U.S. economy and uncovers the ongoing legacy of the partnership of progressives and technocrats." -- From the back cover
