- The energy of work
- Energy and industry: Mechanisation, growth of the city, EFFICIENCY major industrial drive
- Factories
- Ideological representation: 1) 'Minding', no labour required 2) Order and reason, no chaos 3) Master in control. This is PROJECTION of what want it to look like.
- Humans as machines
- System of ORDER and RATIONALITY. Linked with social order.

- Energy and the French - Sadi Carnot
- 'To take away from England her steam engines would be to dry up all her sources of wealth, to ruin everything on whch her prosperity depends' - NATIONAL RIVALRIES
- 1824 'Reflexions': EFFICIENCY! Managerial concerns. Heat is CONSERVED.
- Energy and the Germans
- Work on ENERGY mostly done as analysis of HUMAN LABOUR. Helmholtz had a medical background - dietetics, how to extract work from food (physiological model)
- James Joule - opposite to German physiological model - human behaviour modelled on machines.
- National style of science influenced by the way that industry was set up (Germany vs Britain)
- James Joule - opposite to German physiological model - human behaviour modelled on machines.

- Work is performed when heat is converted into work. Heat and work TOGETHER are conserved, but HEAT IS CONSUMED. Paradox with Joule
- Industry influencing science: Britain experiencing displacement of COAL by ELECTRICITY - how to compare profit of different systems!
- James Joule - opposite to German physiological model - human behaviour modelled on machines.
- William Thomson resolves paradox between Joule and Carnot
- Heat and work are mutually convertible at a fixed rate (Joule)
- Universal tendency towards dissipation and loss of available work
- People at the time thought this was depressing. Links with DEGENERATION
