The Coming of Post-Industrial Society
Abstract
Abstract Social theorists today provide knowledge for "societal-guidance" or construct "social-forecasts" for the future. This kind of theorizing produces, directly or indirectly, strategies for planning or projections of societal models that aid in the rationalization of complex systems. By establishing rules and priorities, analyzing available resources and costs, projecting implications of alternative policies, etc., the role of social theory becomes more and more essential for the management of large organizations. In this way social theory becomes inseparable from the administrative planning and control systems and phases into and becomes indistinguishable from a social technology. It is this drift toward social technology that defines the technocratic tendency of today's social theory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
