Citi of Books Highlights “Economic Governance Technology” by Peter G. Hammerschlag at LIBER Feria Internacional del Libro 2026

“Economic Governance Technology” by Peter G. Hammerschlag is a nonfiction work that presents an ambitious proposal for rethinking how modern economies are understood, managed, and guided. The book combines ideas from economics, science, technology, engineering, logic, and basic human values to propose what Hammerschlag calls a new form of economic governance technology. Rather than viewing the economy solely through traditional economic theories, the author approaches economic problems from the perspective of someone with extensive practical experience in engineering, manufacturing, project management, and business.

His central premise is that modern technological capabilities, combined with systematic analysis and practical reasoning, could help societies create economies that are more productive, stable, and equitable. The book specifically envisions a system capable of supporting full employment and a fairer distribution of wealth while reducing the likelihood and severity of major recessions, depressions, and extreme fluctuations in interest rates.

What makes the book distinctive is its attempt to present economic governance as something that can be approached almost like an engineering problem: identify how a system actually functions, observe the available evidence, understand its weaknesses, and develop practical mechanisms for improving its performance. Hammerschlag argues that such an approach could remain useful even when economies face major technological changes, natural disasters, or epidemics.

“Economic Governance Technology” is a thought-provoking invitation to reconsider the way societies approach economic management. Peter G. Hammerschlag draws upon decades of engineering and business experience to propose that modern science, technology, logic, and fundamental human values can be combined into a more systematic approach to economic governance. Whether readers ultimately agree with all of his conclusions or approach them as ideas for debate, the book encourages them to question established assumptions and consider alternative ways of addressing unemployment, inequality, economic instability, and technological disruption. Its accessible presentation also makes the subject approachable for readers who may not have formal training in economics.

For anyone interested in the future of economic systems and the possibility of using technology to create greater stability and fairness, Economic Governance Technology offers a distinctive and ambitious perspective.
