The Engineers and the Price System, by Thorstein Veblen, is a compilation of a series of papers originally published in The Dial in 1921,[1] each of which mainly analyzes and criticizes the price system, planned obsolescence, and artificial scarcity.[2] The final chapter outlined a plan for a "soviet of technicians".[3] The book, along with other works of Veblen, became influential in the formation of the technocracy movement in the 1930s.[4][5]
