New York: Alfred A. Knopf [0-394-47312-4] 1972. (Hardcover) 369pp. Near fine in fine dust jacket. Top edge stained red, graphs, illustrations. A previous owner's stamp inside. "Demolishing the contemporary folklore of the laboratory, of the machine, and of economics, Gerard Piel asserts the responsibility of each citizen for the uses to which society puts the enormous forces now at its command.
