Summary: Britain is today undergoing a technological revolution imposing massive changes on society that will last well into the twenty- first century; the current unemployment is one symptom of this. This revolution is enormously exciting. It could create a society of much greater wealth in which the soul-destroying drudgery of the assembly line, of mechanical work and of much clerical work, are things of the past. This technological revolution could-because the new types of assembly are so adaptable- replace the mass production of single- standard goods with quality goods and an infinite variety of services, as well as the greater leisure to enjoy a higher quality of life. The opportunity is immense and historic. Yet if government does not face the challenge of managing the social consequences of technological change, the technological revolution could impose strains and misery upon Britain as great as those of the industrial revolution. This book is a first attempt to face that challenge from a Conservative perspective.
