• W4382047583 abstract "648 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE investigated required a reorganization of the structure of the com­ panies to deal with the larger scale of production. There are several problems with this comprehensive study. Because he conceives of his task as one of collecting data and then establishing patterns, Feldenkirchen does not develop an analytical framework. As a result, the data are not adequately integrated. Two examples will make this problem clear. In his conclusion, Feldenkirchen clearly stresses cartel policies as the major cause of vertical integration, yet in one section of his book he asserts a technological push toward concentration. He states that there were large savings to be gained by building a continuous-process system to avoid cooling and reheating at different stages of production. When iron and steel companies began integrating production, they also began using blast furnace gases to fuel large engines driving electric generators and air-blast equipment. These changes, Feldenkir­ chen notes, promoted vertical integration of production around blast furnaces. In the end, however, he sees concentration resulting from the need to adjust to cartel policies. He does not evaluate the relative importance of technology and cartels in promoting vertical integra­ tion. A related problem concerns the reorganization of the large com­ panies in the Ruhr. Feldenkirchen connects the reorganization of management to growth in size of the firms but ignores the problems of combining different levels of production in a continuous-process system. Without an analytical framework, the author misses the opportunity to investigate the relationship among strategies for promoting growth, the changes of the structure of production, and the development of managerial structures. His collection of data on the iron and steel industry in the Ruhr, however, makes this study of great value to those interested in the development of the Ruhr as a technologically inte­ grated economic region.

Previously, historians have not known what details and opinions in the books ofthe cameralist technologists of the early 19th century were interesting to Marx. He read and, in 1851, excerpted five publications of the prolific writerJ. H. M. Poppe (appearing between 1807 and 1830); books ofJ. Beckmann (edited between 1780 and 1805), to whom the modern use ofthe word “technology” can be traced; and Andrew Ure’s Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures, and Mines, translated into German by the technolo­ gists K. Karmarsch and F. Heeren (1843 to 1844). Muller has done an excellentjob deciphering Marx’s difficult hand­ writing, comparing the excerpts with the original books, pointing out Marx’s underlinings, making corrections with respect to the chrono­ logical order, and describing the tradition of the papers. He has also included an index of names and subjects and special remarks about his annotations. In addition to the transcriptions Muller includes an essay about how the impact of the cameralist technologists on Marx and his analysis of the capitalist way of production must be evaluated. This very exciting introduction (particularly the last thirty pages) points to a long neg­ lected held. As he only argues within the Marxist area, however, some important publications on the role of the cameralist technologists were omitted; rather uncritical publications, like those ofF. M. Feldhaus, are used. Muller purposely does not want to present a final explanation of the subject. Both Muller, who concentrated on the effects ofthe technolog­ ical literature on Karl Marx only, and Rainer Winkelmann, who in­ vestigated the effects of Ure, Babbage, and Gasparin on Marx’s under­ standing of the relations between economy and technology, are well aware oftheir shortcomings and intend to write a comprehensive study of “technology..." @default.
