@beep Ironically, the phrase "America by Design" made me think of David Noble's book-length critique of the influence of corporate capitalism in the technology sector, titled America by Design: Science, Technology, and the Rise of Corporate Capitalism.

The book was published in 1977, so I guess that's another link that this initiative has to the Nixon era.

@beep David Noble was a professor at York University in Toronto while I was a grad student there the 1990s, and I got to meet him and hear him and sometimes debate with him. He was a super animated speaker, interested in direct political action, always willing to listen to students. And his critique of the corporatization of academia was as sharp as his wit.
