ORTIZ ESPINOZA, María de los Ángeles. The role of the State in the technological development of capitalist society. PAAKAT: rev. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2021, vol.11, n.20, e592.  Epub 21-Abr-2021. ISSN 2007-3607.  https://doi.org/10.32870/pk.a11n20.592.

Based on the contributions of critical theory, the present text aims to expose in which ways the State intervenes in technological advancement within the capitalist system and the conditions in which it grants tools, both to ruling classes and to the dominated classes, to access, develop and implement technology. The argument that is upheld is that the state apparatus has to cover the necessary conditions so that knowledge in technological matters continues to be generated, but it is also essential that it provide the pertinent conditions so that the working class has the appropriate tools to be able to operate it.

Palavras-chave : Science and technology; state policy; technological change; capitalist society; critical theory; ruling clases, dominated clases.
