RARE BOOK! The Making of a Moron by Niall Brennan. Published in 1953. Believe First Edition. DJ is covered with a protective mylar cover.
A wartime experiment where mentally defective people were drafted into industry, and proved themselves more easily disciplined, more content with their tasks, and more efficient. The author decided to run his own experiment to find out what the effect must be on normal people of doing the same work that had been done so well by the mentally challenged. His findings seemed to lead to the conclusion that work which makes sub-human demands results cumulatively in the narrowing, and finally the mutilation, of the human personality, and that the continuous sense of frustration avenges itself by strange and disturbing means.
