How does the experience of the former Soviet Union illustrate Kerr et al.'s (1960) assertion regarding political systems and advanced industrial technology?

Show Answers

Totalitarian governments cannot effectively support the demands of advanced industrial technology.Democratic systems primarily benefit a dominant ruling class.Advanced industrial technology enhances the control of totalitarian regimes.Communist states distribute authority among multiple political factions.None of the above.

Explanation

Kerr et al. (1960) argued that totalitarian regimes struggle to meet the complex needs of advanced industrial technology, a conclusion supported by the Soviet Union's experience. This contradicts ideas that such technology strengthens totalitarian control or that power is shared among political parties in communist societies.
