Daniel Bell and the Emergence of the Service Society

Daniel Bell, the Harvard sociologist, forecast that an emerging “service society” would surface as machines began to replace muscle power on the farm and in the factory. Bell envisioned a service society elbowing its way past the industrial era because there was no way to anticipate the impact of a microelectronic information epoch which was still in its early infancy.
