It highlights key figures and events, analyzing the motivations, processes, and challenges faced in establishing and implementing standards across various industries. The text also explores the impact of standardization on global economics, political relations, and technological progress, as well as the evolution and future of global standards. The study explores the role of engineers, industry leaders, and even social activists in shaping the world through standardization.
