History
Technocracy Inc. was founded by Scott and Hubbert following the research they concluded in the Technical Alliance. Along with the members of that organization, Scott and Hubbert set up Technocracy Inc. to be a non-profit education and research organization, with the purpose of both informing the population of North America about its research, as well as continuing that research. The reason for the switch was because the research of the Technical Alliance was publicized all over North America, but most often with erroneous or even completely fictional information. "Technocracy" groups sprung up to try and take advantage of this gain in popularity and the members of the Alliance created a new organization to publicize its research and keep the record straight on what Technocracy really was. The Technical Alliance formed at the end of World War I was one of Americas first think tanks. ...

Popularity Technocracy's program gained in popularity over the 1930s and 1940s, with members from all over North America. The organization gave lecture tours, study courses, and held motorcades, where hundreds of official "Technocracy Grey Cars" travelled all over the United States and Canada as part of the organization's "symbolization" campaign. The Grey Cars sparked fears that Technocracy was a secret society with resources to create a fleet of vehicles in the midst of a depression. In reality, the organization only supplied grey paint so that members could customize their own vehicles. A grey suit became the organization's uniform, and a red and grey monad its official symbol. // Events and trends A public speech by Benito Mussolini, founder of the Fascist movement The 1930s were described as an abrupt shift to more radical lifestyles, as countries were struggling to find a solution to the global depression. ...

Since World War II, support for Technocracy has diminished. The organization still exists, however, with its members participating in discussion groups, meetings, and magazine (The Northwest Technocrat, Technocracy Digest) collaboration. Due to a significant drop in membership since the organization's inception, little research is currently being developed.

Organizational structure The standard unit for the organization is the chartered Section, consisting of at least fifty members. At Technocracy's height in popularity, many cities contained more than one Section, sometimes as high as a dozen or more. These sections would be the organs that undertook the majority of Technocracy's work, including the research that continued after the Technical Alliance.
Funding The organization receives its funds entirely from dues and donations from its members. Membership is open to any citizen of North America, save politicians, as Technocracy is not a political party, but moreover seeks the abolishment of political controls. A politician is an individual involved in politics. ...
