Technocracy, the politico-economic movement, advocates the optimization of the welfare of human beings, by means of scientific analyses and engineered action. It does not limit itself to established economic, political and administrative forms, but considers those as human artifacts subject to optimization. As a result, the group's reforms seem quite radical to many people.
Technocracy advocates an economic system in which production is run at full capacity at all times, and purchasing power equal to the productive capacity is evenly distributed to all. The organization claims that this will guarantee both well-being and security for all.

Get the Technocracy mug.The AI TechnoCore is a society of sentient computer systems that exist in the Hyperion book series, by Dan Simmons. The TechnoCore exists inside the singularities that compose the farcaster web, and use excess human neurons as a easily accessible form of processing power. This TechnoCore seceeded from the Hegemony of Man four hundred years before the events in Hyperion, and was later destroyed by Meina Gladstone after the supposed Ouster invasion of the web worlds. Thus, TechnoCore refers to a bunch of semi-evil computers manipulating humanity for thier own ends.

A form of government where those who are skilled rule.
“Those who are skilled” is often taken to mean scientist and engineers; however, that is not necessarily the case. A technocracy is a hypothetical system of governance where those who are skilled in a particular area make the decisions for that area, so a person who is skilled in the area of health would manage the heath system and someone skilled in defence would make the decisions for the defence of a state rather than having elected representatives make the decisions.
Technocracy can also be seen as a plan for society where the technical aspects of society are run by those who are skilled in those areas. The plan would see the replacement of capitalism, money and the free market with a more rational means of allocating and managing the resources of society to maintain a high standard of living for the longest time possible.
