  4. The Role of Science and Technology in Society New technologies as the curse or the salvation of society? (E. Cassirer) • Technology and the Human Condition: • Technology: The quintessential human product (A. Gehlen) • Science and Technology Studies (STS): Technology imposed on us? • The Evolution of Technology and its Consequences: • Technology develops cumulatively rather than in Isolated heroic acts • (society must find a use for it) • Do we invent to meet an urgent need or do we create a need for a • new invention (J. Diamond)? • Knowledge and Technology as Engines of Globalization • Does it increase inequality? If yes, why? (public policy) • Does it subject or empower people? (economic history) • How does it affect affect environment and society? (NZ vs. EU approach) • Democracy (protection of property rights), Capitalism (freedom to innovate) • But can it provide meaning, orientation and identity? (J.A. Schumpeter) • ► Public Leadership and Industrial Policy make the difference
