Book Synopsis

First published in 1931, The Economic Consequences of Power Production presents an analysis of the societal and economic impacts of the increasing reliance on electricity and mechanized power. The book, written by Fred Henderson (1867-1957), has been part of early 20th century discourse about automation, productivity, and work-life balance. It is noted for its critical perspective on the potential negative consequences of unchecked technological advancement, as suggested by a 1933 New York Times review that described it as offering A Gloomy View of Power Age Consequences. This work remains an important historical reference for scholars interested in the history of technology and its societal impacts.
