Un extrait de livre explore les origines du taylorisme

Un nouvel extrait de livre détaille l'émergence de l'organisation scientifique du travail à la fin du XIXe siècle.

Frederick Winslow Taylor a débuté sa carrière à la Midvale Steel Company dans les années 1880. Il s'est opposé aux ouvriers sur les cadences de production après être devenu chef d'équipe. Taylor a par la suite appliqué des études de temps à la Bethlehem Steel Company en 1899, se concentrant sur les chargeurs de fonte, dont Henry Noll. En 1914, il a témoigné devant la Commission on Industrial Relations, défendant ses méthodes face aux critiques de représentants syndicaux tels que John F. Tobin. Cet extrait est tiré de Control Science par Henry Snow, publié aux éditions 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.
