“Mass-production disintegrates work into meaningless fragments; and perhaps the best partial answer to it will be found in methods of organisation which restore meaning and purpose to the work by giving the worker a sense of participating in a -worthwhile enterprise and a more intimate understanding of what it is all about,” states the Observer, London. "Joint production committees are one example of these methods, which are probably capable of considerable development if prejudice and tradition do not stand in the way. In order to conquer want we must have full employment and we must have mass-production; but the shape given to society by 'these powerful tools could quite easily turn out to be bleak and unrewarding if foresight and imagination are not brought to their use.”
