110. Luddism: 19th Century Direct Action against TechnoCapitalism -- Brian Merchant
Manage episode 387901533 series 2980478
I'm joined by Brian Merchant to discuss his new book, Blood in the Machine. Brian argues persuasively that the Luddites weren't anti-technology but were actually for a different social order and a different use of technology. More importantly, in Brian's book the factory owners look a lot like today's tech titans and the workers look a lot like, well, today's workers. So come back with us to the early 19th century to find out how it all went wrong!
