Alienation

Braverman's description of Taylor's system can be summarized in three principles:

first is that traditional knowledge is gathered into the hands of management,
second is that the planning of the task is separated from its execution so that management decides what needs to be done and the workers follow those instructions of orders, and
lastly, management must hold a monopoly over knowledge to control each step of the labor process.
