SUMMARY:The politics of alternative technology and workers’ plans - Janua
 ry 13th 2014
DESCRIPTION:Radical movements\, appreciating the importance of technology\,
  have often tried to appropriate or modify it\, or even to create their ow
 n technologies. ‘Alternative’ or ‘sustainable’ technology has now 
 become part of the mainstream\, but has it lost sight of the principles of
  its founders\, such as E F Schumacher? Has it become just another techno-
 fix? Trade unionists have also put forward alternative plans for how to us
 e technology in the common interest\, rather than those of corporations an
 d the military. But can industrial megatechnologies ever really solve the 
 problems that industrial capitalism has created? Can the Green and Left cr
 itiques of technology be combined?\nSpeakers :\n\n 	Patrick Mulvaney (advi
 ser to Practical Action)\n 	Suzanne Jeffery (Million Climate Jobs Campaign
 )\n\nThe second half of the meeting will be an opportunity for people to g
 ive input on the Breaking the Frame gathering.
