Luddite |

Refers to various bands of workmen in England (1811-1816) who organized to destroy industrial manufacturing machinery under the conviction that its use and the proliferation of such machinery would diminish employment. They also wanted to retain or return to a simpler world where mechanization had no part. The movement was named after Ned Ludd, an eighteenth century Leicestershire worker who originated the idea. |
