"Veblen continued to write and maintain a role in The New School's development. During this time, he wrote The Engineers and the Price System.[31] In it, Veblen proposed a soviet of engineers.[32] According to Yngve Ramstad,[33] the view that engineers, not workers, would overthrow capitalism was a "novel view". Veblen invited Guido Marx to the New School to teach and to help organize a movement of engineers with others such as Morris Cooke; Henry Gantt, who had died shortly before; and Howard Scott. Cooke and Gantt were followers of Frederick Winslow Taylor's scientific management theory. Scott, who listed Veblen as being on the temporary organizing committee of the Technical Alliance, perhaps without consulting Veblen or other listed members, later helped found the technocracy movement.[34]"
