by V. L. Allen
Lecturer in Industrial Economics in the University of Leeds
There is an increasing trend towards rational efficiency in industry and society at large. In the interests of technical efficiency people are organised, ordjred, made to conform. Yet at the same time they are motivated by the ethic of individualism. Dr. Allen considers that the social consequences which are emerging from this situation constitute grave danger to individual freedom which social analysts are largely ignoring.
