"By the 1950s, a new conflict was growing between capitalism and communism, which would be fought as much through technology and economics as through military might.

Singer's emphasis of a 'gradual easing' of human conditions by means of technology differs from the inevitable revolutions associated with Marxism. Nevertheless, [Gordon] Childe still employed revolutionary vocabulary in his contributions to Singer's first volumeâ"at a time when an avowed Marxist would have lost his job in the United States" (Oleson, p. 72).
