CONT

As always it's the poor and the working class who suffer the brunt of the patronizing attitude and the limitations on their freedom of choice. The rich will always be free. There was a time when working people listened and deferred to the middle-class teachers and preachers. They have now thrown off those shackles. They won’t allow them to be replaced by the new polytechnocracy, whatever its politics.(Source : The Times(London), 26 Sept. 1987, p. 8).

OBS

blend from poly(technic) + technocracy. Creation facilitated by the common element "Tech".
