As the guest of the Harvard Engineering Society, D. C. Coyle, a prominent consulting engineer in New York, will speak on the subject, "Technological Unemployment," at 7.30 o'clock this evening, in Pierce Hall.
This address announced under the title of "Technological Unemployment," will actually cover a much wider field. Coyle has suggested in his book, "The Irrepressible Conflict," the modification of the capitalist system which seems to him necessary to establish our economic system, and to prevent the recurrence of depressions such as we are now experiencing. His ideas have commended themselves to many thoughtful men, and indicate a possible means for maintaining the capitalist system in a modified form against the threat of communism or a controlled economy. This modification has as one of its chief elements, a method of eliminating technical unemployment.
Mr. Coyle will also discuss Technocracy, a system of economic control which is now being actively backed by an important group as the solution of our economic troubles.
The meeting is sponsored by the Harvard group of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and is open to all members of the University and their friends.
