==== Growth curves ====
Justification for such a radical economy was heavily demonstrated through technocracy's [[growth curve (statistics)|growth curves]] of [[economic equilibrium]].

Their chart of "Irreversible Physical Trends Shape America's Destiny," was a continuation of the Technical Alliance's energy survey of North America, with the graph being created by the Committee of Technocracy. Upon completion, the energy survey was approximately going to have 3,000 charts finished, with every field of industry being analyzed.<ref name=":3" /> 

According to Dr. Rautenstrauch the committee found that the formulas technocracy worked out from business enterprise, greatly resembled the biological growth curves charted by [[Raymond Pearl]]'s "Studies in Human Biology." The committee compared the [[Verhulst-Pearl equation|Pearl-Reed equation]] to several major growth charts from U.S. industries; fitting similarly.

A foundation of technocracy's arguments was made with said chart. What it shows is that pre-[[Industrial Revolution|industrial revolution]] civilization primarily generated its consumer goods from human energy—human labor. And after the industrial revolution happened, a flip in dynamic changed. Resulting in greater energy output with less human toil. Machinery enable for more efficient work without human muscle. To the technocrats, this shift of equilibrium was going to lead to rapid [[technological unemployment]] with no plan for the price system to navigate distribution of wealth to the unemployed population.<ref name=":3">{{Cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/whatistechnocrac00tech/page/64/mode/2up |title=What is Technocracy |date=1933 |others=University of Alberta Archives}}</ref><ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bqPXqYWHlE |title=Technocracy full presentation |date=2013-04-14 |last=unitetechnocrats |access-date=2024-12-09 |via=YouTube}}</ref><ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GbxKim-LjM |title="Technocracy '101' " - Ron Miller |date=2014-06-10 |last=Technocracy Incorporated |access-date=2024-12-09 |via=YouTube}}</ref>
