Howard Scott

Howard Scott was an influential figure in the early 20th century, known for his role as a social engineer and advocate of technocracy. He co-founded the Technocracy Movement in the 1930s, which sought to replace politicians with engineers and scientists to efficiently manage society's resources through scientific principles. Scott believed that technology could solve social problems and improve living standards by organizing production and distribution based on energy consumption rather than profit. His ideas were controversial and attracted both followers and critics during a time of economic upheaval, particularly during the Great Depression.
