That complex has a technocratic character---it is compulsively concerned with techniques. The Military-Industrial complex is a monopoly which seeks exclusive control. It is supported by other aspects of the same monopoly---within the religious, educational, political, and cultural communities. The technocratic monopoly thus involves all these communities in its service. The religious community tends to define issues of human relationship in legalistic terms which can be readily manipulated by technocrats. The ultimate questions are asked in ways which lead to technical answers in verbal form. The ultimate concerns pertain to possessions, rights, privileges --- perhaps in an after- life. The educational community supports the technocratic monopoly by training the technicians, the religious leaders, the teachers, the political leaders, and the cultural leaders---within the context of a technical world-view. By excluding from consideration profound criticisms of exclusively technical understanding, the educational community insures that technical considerations will dominate the society. The political leaders operate within the technical frame work of values and analysis generated by the religious and educational communities. They call upon technical experts to formulate the political questions which are put to the electorate---and not surprisingly the questions lead to technical rather than to non-technical responses. Thus technical perspectives dominate politics. The cultural leaders involve more than what we often call "culture". The culture of a society is represented by what members of the society value and feel merits their time and attention. Thus auto racing, baseball, football, television, basketball, and the like are pervasive cultural forces, if they involve attracting attention from the members of the society. In a technocratic society the focus of such activities tends to be technical, rather then genuinely affective. Through exclusivity technocrats generate a monopolistic technocratic society.
