Famous quotes containing the words industrial and/or complex:

    In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create.
    Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)

    Instead of seeing society as a collection of clearly defined “interest groups,” society must be reconceptualized as a complex network of groups of interacting individuals whose membership and communication patterns are seldom confined to one such group alone.
    Diana Crane (b. 1933)
