Two Proto-Globalist Manifestoes

Ward, Barbara. Spaceship Earth. Columbia University Press, 1966. Softbound. $18.
Two glimpses at influential propaganda, both of which would go on to help shape globalist utopia narratives. Scott, whose early life is undocumented (historian William E. Akin calls him a 'mysterious young man'), was founder of the once-populist Technocracy movement, a philosophy since adopted by the Silicon Valley–centered architects of a digital control grid. And Ward, who was given the life peerage title of Baroness Jackson of Lodsworth, was a Ministry of Information employee and pioneer of the concept of sustainable development who had the ears of everyone from the World Bank to the Vatican.
Introduction to Technocracy's saddle-stitched binding remains sound, and its interior is clean and unmarked. It has some edge-wear, but no other notable wear. Spaceship Earth has a tight, square, uncreased spine and clean unmarked interior. It has some edge-wear and a small area of creasing to the front cover.
