The '''Technocracy Study Course''' is a book published by Technocracy Incorporated in 1934 that formed the basis of the [[Technocracy movement]]. The [[Technical Alliance]] was formed in conjunction with the [[Industrial Engineering]] Department at [[Columbia University]], and began an empirical analysis of production and employment in North America in energy units. This information was then published as the Technocracy Study Course.
The term 'technology' became widely used after the early-twentieth-century rise of "technocracy," a movement that promoted technical superiority by seeking to replace the subjectivity of politics by the assumed objectivity of engineering.<ref>http://science.jrank.org/pages/11395/Technology-Technocracy.html </ref>
[[M. King Hubbert]] a geo-scientist was also an avid [[Technocracy movement|Technocrat]]. He co-founded [[Technocracy Incorporated]] with [[Howard Scott]] and contributed significantly to the ''Technocracy Study Course'', the precedent document of that group which advocates a [[Non-market economics]] form of [[Energy accounting]],<ref>http://telstar.ote.cmu.edu/environ/m3/s3/05account.shtml Environmental Decision making, Science and Technology</ref>as opposed to the current [[Price System]] method.<ref>Cutler J.
