The Engineers and the Price System / The Socialist Economics of Karl Marx and His Followers

The book critiques the influence of politics and investment on industrial policy, arguing that decisions should be made solely by production engineers without commercial interests. It emphasizes the need for a more objective approach to industrial management, highlighting the potential conflicts that arise when external factors dictate policy over technical expertise. This perspective advocates for a separation of industrial policy from political and financial motivations to ensure more effective and unbiased decision-making in production.
