Relations of Production and Technology

Colin Leys

A chapter in Technological Capability in the Third World, 1984, pp 175-184 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The following seeks to make two main points. First, the point often made but often forgotten again, that technology is never neutral but is intimately related to the social relations of production; indeed it is an aspect of those relations. Second, in considering indigenous technological capacity as a problem of development strategy the constraints presented by the international economy must be analysed in a way that also focuses on the primacy of production relations.
