　　In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic(官僚主義的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling isdone with higher wages, Nell-ventilated factories and piped music, and by psychologists and“human – relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has becomepowerless, that he is bored with it. In fact, the blue and the white-collar workers have becomeeconomic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucraticmanagement.

　　The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out ofa job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction ofinteresting life. They live an die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities ofhuman existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive humanbeings.

　　Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less emptythan those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in ahighly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but evenmore a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested forintelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From themoment on they are tested again and again – by the psychologists, for whom testing is a bigbusiness, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along,etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow – competitorcreates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.

　　Am I suggesting that we should return to the preidustrial mode of production or tonineteenth-century “free enterprise “ capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved byreturning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social systemform a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumptionare ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of hispotentialities – those of all love and of reason – are the aims of social arrangements.Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be preventedfrom ruling man.
