ABSTRACT
It has been suggested that one possible explanation of the spontaneous acceptance of the new system was to be found in the workers' intuitive acceptance of it as a means of satisfying needs of which they were largely unaware. Such intuitive acceptance would need no rational arguments but would be complete and unquestioning. It was argued that the workers' remarkable determination to make the new system succeed, and their fears of losing what they had gained, were evidence supporting this explanation.
