PREFACE

This audio file consists of the First response in an exchange of letters between Director-in-Chief of Technocracy Inc., Howard Scott, and J.K. Faulkner which was thought to be of interest to the public and was first published in The Northwest Technocrat of July 1965 (No. 220) along with two articles referred to in Howard Scott's letters.

J. K. Faulkner, assistant professor of economics at Western Washington State College, Bellingham, Washington, while researching for a Ph.D in Economics, had first contacted various Sections of Technocracy Inc. in the northwest before writing his first letter to Howard Scott.

Howard Scott's careful and complete response to Faulkner's questions contain information about Technocracy's history and purpose that is useful to a better understanding of Technocracy.

Energy economics

Physical scientists and biologists were the first individuals to use energy flows to explain social and economic development. Joseph Henry, an American physicist and first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, remarked that the "fundamental principle of political economy is that the physical labor of man can only be ameliorated by the transformation of matter from a crude state to a artificial condition...by expending what is called power or energy."
