Mechanics of Social Change

About the Book

The book explains engineering principles at an understandable level, with examples and translates these concepts into the social realm also with examples. For example, the mechanics of lever and the application of leverage to economics, politics, and social environments. The mixture of history, engineering technology and social problems make the story interesting and informative. (see Preface and Chapter 1)
