19世紀後半における科学的管理法の台頭を詳しく解説した新刊の抜粋を紹介する。
フレデリック・ウィンズロー・テイラーは、1880年代にミッドベール・スチール社でそのキャリアをスタートさせた。彼は現場監督になった後、生産性をめぐって労働者たちと衝突した。テイラーはその後、1899年にベスレヘム・スチール社でヘンリー・ノルを含む銑鉄の積み込み作業員を対象とした時間研究を導入した。1914年には産業関係委員会で証言を行い、ジョン・F・トービンのような労働組合代表からの批判に対して自身の理論を擁護した。この抜粋は、Verso Booksから出版されたヘンリー・スノウ著『Control Science』からのものである。

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.

Literary Hub published an analysis on unions gaining momentum in the publishing sector.
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.

Analysts say Trump's tariff setback could lead to a surge in Chinese imports to the US, though front-loading is expected at levels below those ahead of last year's sweeping “Liberation Day” duties. Jeff Bowman, CEO of Colorado-based Cocona, said the ruling was “well received,” but uncertainty persists. American hand-dryer maker Excel Dryer affirmed its strategy to source all parts domestically.
Tomás Recart, executive director of Enseña Chile, argues in a letter to La Tercera that education's main challenge is management. He claims the wrong question is being asked by focusing on classroom methodologies or innovations, overlooking the structure and governance of Local Services.
