Buchauszug untersucht die Ursprünge des Taylorismus

Ein neuer Buchauszug beschreibt den Aufstieg der wissenschaftlichen Betriebsführung im späten neunzehnten Jahrhundert.

Frederick Winslow Taylor begann seine Karriere in den 1880er Jahren bei der Midvale Steel Company. Nachdem er zum Vorarbeiter befördert wurde, geriet er mit den Arbeitern wegen der Produktivitätsraten aneinander. Später, im Jahr 1899, wandte Taylor bei der Bethlehem Steel Company Zeitstudien an, bei denen er sich auf Roheisenverlader wie Henry Noll konzentrierte. Im Jahr 1914 sagte er vor der Kommission für Arbeitsbeziehungen aus und verteidigte seine Methoden gegen die Kritik von Arbeitnehmervertretern wie John F. Tobin. Der Auszug stammt aus dem Buch Control Science von Henry Snow, das bei Verso Books erschienen ist.

At the Festival of Economies for Life, international economists urged transforming the current economic model due to its inequality and colonial logics. Experts like Jayati Ghosh, Pedro Rossi, and Fadhel Kaboub advocated sovereign industrial policies and south-south cooperation. The event, organized by the Ministry of Education and the Progressive International, runs until May 4.

Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton developed a framework in the 1820s and 1830s that linked the paths of light rays and moving particles, an idea that later proved crucial to quantum mechanics. Born 220 years ago, Hamilton's work, including carving a formula on Dublin's Broome Bridge in 1843, built on earlier physics but revealed deeper connections only understood a century later. This insight helped shape modern theories of wave-particle duality.

Scientists at California Polytechnic State University have discovered new forms of quantum matter by varying magnetic fields over time. The breakthrough, detailed in Physical Review B, shows that time-dependent control can produce stable quantum states without static equivalents. This could advance quantum computing by making systems more resistant to errors.
