Robert Alexander Brady (May 13, 1901 – June 14, 1963) was an American economist who analyzed the dynamics of technological change and the structure of business enterprise. Brady developed a potent analysis of fascism and other emerging authoritarian economic and cultural practices. His essential work is “about power and the organization of power around the logic of technology as operated under capitalism”, yielding insights and understanding of modern society’s careening path between enhancing or destroying “life and culture”.
