ABSTRACT
The world revolution of our time is "made in USA". The true revolutionary principle is the idea of mass-production. "Industry" once meant any organization for human work. It was only during the eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries, the era of the first "Industrial Revolution", that the term was narrowed to mean "manufacturing". With the second industrial revolution, the revolution of mass production, "industry" again reverts to its earlier meaning. The divorce of worker and production which is inherent in the mass-production technology explains the central importance which depression and unemployment have attained in the industrialized society. The divorce of man from production makes impossible reliance on "natural adjustment". The individual's dependence on access to the means of production makes possible a regime that totally controls the individual–it makes possible totalitarianism. The absolute dependence of the citizen on access to the productive organization endows tyranny at the same time with a new attraction.
