It would have been useful to also point out that Soddy's analysis and
monetary schemes influenced the Technocracy movement, along with Veblen's
the Engineers and the Price System, of course. The connection also resonates
through the work of M. King Hubbert who active in Technocracy in the 1930s
and went on to hypothesize Peak Oil. Hubbert's pamphlet, Man-Hours and
Distribution is interesting both for its perspective on technological
unemployment and for the way his Peak Oil argument was anticipated in his
productivity, employment and hours of work analysis.

Some of these autodidact cranks make more sense than the academicians who
prattle on 'in the name of" revered authorities whose wisdom they've imbibed
second-hand (at best) through introductory textbooks and hear-say.
"Actually-existing Keynesian" for example, is a compendium of Aesopian
fables and condensations that bear scant resemblance to ideas of J.M.
Keynes. Others, of course, are just cranks.
