A Technocracy is defined as a system in which people with a lot of knowledge about science or technology control a society.[1] William Henry Smyth has been recognized as inventing the word "technocracy" in 1919 to describe as he put it: "the rule of the people made effective through the agency of their servants, the scientists and engineers"[2]. Smyth had Industrial Democracy in mind when he coined the term[3].
James Burnham
In his seminal work The Managerial Revolution, Burnham lists Technocracy as one of four managerial ideologies alongside Communism, Nazism, and New Dealism.
