Description

This 1935 Routledge Revival edition examines the profound tensions between scientific advancement and societal application during the interwar period. The work critiques how modern technology, despite its promise, often results in sabotage and waste rather than progress, exploring contradictions from agricultural destruction to aerial bombardment and the ethical crises facing medical practitioners. The author addresses how industrial fecundity creates paradoxes of plenty amid want, documents the refusal of women to participate in reproduction under such conditions, and traces the militarisation of scientific knowledge. Originally published nearly a century ago, this reissue remains relevant to contemporary debates about technology's role in human welfare, making it essential reading for scholars of science history, social theory, and the relationship between innovation and destructive capacity.

Key Features

Revival edition published by Routledge brings this 1935 analysis of science and society back into print for modern readers.

Examines how modern technology and industrial productivity paradoxically create waste, sabotage, and societal dysfunction rather than progress.

Addresses ethical crises including conscientious medical practice, women's refusal to bear children, and the militarisation of scientific knowledge.

Provides historical perspective on interwar anxieties about agricultural destruction, aerial warfare, and technological fecundity.

Essential text for scholars studying science history, sociology, anthropology, and the social consequences of industrial advancement.
