This excerpt from R. Buckminster Fuller’s Grunch of Giants discusses the author’s lifelong project to improve humanity’s living conditions through technological innovation, not politics. Fuller details numerous inventions designed to achieve a higher standard of living for all, contrasting his approach with the self-serving actions of large corporations and governments. He introduces the concept of “Grunch,” a term for the unseen power of large corporations manipulating global finance and resources, hindering progress towards a sustainable world. Fuller argues that humanity possesses the technological capacity to support everyone at a high standard of living but is hampered by outdated economic systems and short-sighted political actions. Ultimately, he suggests that a technological revolution, aided by the integration of world data, can lead to a global, equitable society.
