Anthropocene and Technocracy

Recognizing the influence of human activity on the terrestrial ecosystem, geologists are considering formally declaring that the Earth is now in a post-Holocene Age--the Anthropocene.  While there is debate as to the beginning of the latter, it is generally agreed that the emergence of its defining characteristics is accelerated by the Industrial Revolution, circa 1700.  Now, since Industrialization has been peculiar to no specific Political or Economic system, Modern Political Philosophy has been neither illuminating or effective in the formulation of the social organization that best conduces to these most salient and epochal developments in human history.  However, an alternative that is at least akin to such progress, but is rarely taken into consideration by theorists, is what can be called Technocracy, meaning the rule of Know-How, not to be confused with the most usual use of the term, which connotes a mechanistic social order.
