This installment investigates how both Eastern and Western technocrats are creating high-tech utopian societies that supposedly advance the common good of all. Howard Scott of Technocracy Inc. and his merry band of technocrats envisioned an efficiently run system of regional government incorporating a territorial expanse of countries as far south as Panama and north as Canada, known as the North American Technate.
