For those who would like to use my drafts as outlines for study I shall prepare within a few months an annotated guide to the relevant bibliography distributed by Valentina Borremans, Tecno-Politica, APD 479, Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. I guess that, in 1980, through no other Journal I could reach a comparable motley readership of unusual critics. Thank you for accepting them in CoEvolution Quarterly. The promised epilogue is taking shape in a dozen essays on the fate of Vernacular Values during the last five hundred years of warfare that has been waged by the modern State against all forms of Subsistence.Īt your invitation I am sending you the drafts for a couple of these essays. I am now back to the study of history, the study of popular cultures, mentalities, practices and tools all too often overshadowed by the history of ideas, institutions and dominant styles. These were prolegomena towards a History of Needs that remains to be done. To grapple with them, and to deepen my understanding of this late industrial age, I focused successively on Energy and Equity, Medical Nemesis and Disabling Professions. The readings which came with them led me in many directions I had never intended to go. To prepare for this task I submit this essay for critical comment.

I want to describe the fading monopoly of the industrial mode of production and the vanishing of the industrially generated professions this mode of production serves.Ībove all I want to show that two-thirds of mankind still can avoid passing through the industrial age, by choosing right now a postindustrial balance in their mode of production which the hyper-industrial nations will be forced to adopt as an alternative to chaos. I want to trace the changes in language, myth, ritual and law which took place in the current epoch of packaging and of schooling. Indeed, that is what I had promised in 1973 in the introduction to Tools for Conviviality :ĭuring the next several years I intend to work on an epilogue to the industrial age.
