The Chain Saw in Swedish Forestry
Conference paper
Abstract
The kind of technology and the kind of machines and tools that are used in the labor process are always chosen by one or several individuals. The people who select the technology and those who use it are usually not identical, but, as we shall see, sometimes they are. The choices are never made in a social vacuum. The social structure imposes constraints on who can make the decisions as well as on how the decisions are made.
