[The] tremendous and still accelerating development of science and technology has not been accompanied by an equal development in social, economic, and political patterns.. We are now..only beginning to explore the potentialities which it offers for developments in our culture outside technology, particularly in the social, political and economic fields. It is safe to predict that..such social inventions as modern-type Capitalism, Fascism, and Communism will be regarded as primitive experiments directed toward the adjustment of modern society to modern methods . Ralph Linton
About This Quote

Douglas MacArthur said: “The tremendous and still accelerating development of science and technology has not been accompanied by an equal development in social, economic, and political patterns.” He is saying that as the world has gotten more advanced with technology, it has gotten more stagnant with power structures. No matter how advanced we think we are as a global society, we’ve been using the same systems for thousands of years to organize everything from business to politics to religion and they’re really not working anymore. We need to create new models of organization and governance, ones that don’t rely on slavery or control by a few people who make all the decisions for everyone else.
