Un extracto de libro explora los orígenes del taylorismo

Un nuevo extracto de libro detalla el auge de la gestión científica a finales del siglo XIX.

Frederick Winslow Taylor comenzó su carrera en Midvale Steel Company en la década de 1880. Tras convertirse en jefe de cuadrilla, tuvo conflictos con los trabajadores debido a las tasas de productividad. Más tarde, en 1899, Taylor aplicó estudios de tiempo en Bethlehem Steel Company, centrándose en los cargadores de arrabio, incluido Henry Noll. En 1914, testificó ante la Comisión de Relaciones Industriales, defendiendo sus métodos frente a las críticas de representantes laborales como John F. Tobin. El extracto proviene de Control Science de Henry Snow, publicado por Verso Books.

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.
