Technocracy, a form of governance where decision-making is left to a group of technical experts, has become deeply entrenched in governments globally and is doing more harm than good for the people, according to law professor Bruce Pardy.
“It’s the crowning achievement so far of that belief—the belief that in order for civilization to carry on and to be successful, that we need experts in a bureaucracy, managing things so that things don’t fall apart. And that is a belief that I think, I’m afraid, is probably widely held, and widely held even across the political spectrum,” Mr. Pardy, a professor at Queen’s University and told the host of EpochTV’s American Thought Leaders program, Jan Jekielek, in an interview on July 18.
