The Philosophy of Jacques Ellul Technological Society Lecture 6 Ch 4 State and Technique (2nd Half)

As we continue our reader’s guide to Jacques Ellul’s classic book The Technological Society, today we finish the second half of the fourth chapter on Technique and State. Find out why ideology is always far less relevant than technology in determining which changes the State will undergo, as well as the reasons why propaganda is far worse in democracies than openly totalitarian states and why the masses lose the ability to really rule themselves due to the ironic coincidence of overpopulation and chronic malnutrition.
