Technology and basic needs

proposal for a debate on fundamental criteria

Enrique Dussel

pp. 101-109

At the same time its role in advancing the forces of production for the benefit of humanity may have been perverted from its fundamental universality and placed in the service of a power struggle against the human majority.
