The Information Age: Technology, Learning and Exclusion in Wales

y.
Publisher:
Description: The development and exploitation of technology has long been at the core of Welsh economic and social life, and has assumed even greater significance over the last few decades with the emergence of so many new technologies. This book critically examines the challenges Wales faces in reinventing itself as a competitive e-nation. While the authors suggest that small countries will lose out if they fail to adopt appropriate strategies for lifelong learning and embrace new technologies, they also offer research that indicates the shortcomings of relying on technology alone to promote knowledge and social inclusion. It considers how it is possible for a small country to have a distinct IT strategy in an increasingly globalized economy by producing practical conclusions for policymakers and practitioners.

Matthew P. Drennan
The Information Economy and American Cities

y.
Publisher:
Description: How can metropolitan regions remain prosperous and competitive in a rapidly changing economy? Challenging some long-standing assumptions, Matthew Drennan argues that those regions that have invested heavily in the information economy have done much better than those that continue to rely on manufacturing and industry as their base. Moreover, he contends, the benefits of that growth reach the urban working poor, earlier reports to the contrary notwithstanding. The Information Economy and American Cities provides a wealth of rigorously analyzed econometric data which will be of great value to economists, planners, and policymakers concerned with the future of America`s metropolitan areas. Additional supporting data will be made available online. Not just another glib cheer for the information economy, this book provides the kind of hard evidence needed to advocate effectively for change. [detailed...]

The Information Resources Policy Handbook: Reserach for the Information Age

y.
Publisher:
Description: foreword by William O. Baker To understand the Information Age one must understand the concept of information as a resource. Like other basic resources such as energy and materials, information resources are building blocks of society. But unlike energy and materials, they are far more abundant and versatile. Information resources includes computers, telecommunications, the mass media, and financial services, all created or changed by the movement from analog to digital. This collection looks at the factors underlying digital technologies as well as the resulting public and strategic policy issues. In a rapidly evolving discipline, certain judgments are likely to change. To strike a balance between the more abstract concepts of enduring value andwritings focused on current examples, each part of the book opens with a timeless `evergreen` chapter, followed by one or more `contemporary` chapters.

Armand Mattelart
The Information Society : An Introduction

2003 y.
Publisher: Sage Publications
Description: The impact of the `information society` are multiform and transdisciplinary. There are few areas of social, political and economic life that have not been affected or challenged by the new technologies of information and communication. In this short introduction, Armand Mattelart unpacks the notion of the information society, and examines why it has become the dominant paradigm for social change in the 21st Century. Critically, he also asks why the notion has come to dominant in the absence of any critical examination of the conditions under which it has been produced. Combining a long-term historical and geopolitical perspective, Mattelart questions the axioms used to legitimate the Information Society and critically assesses the ways in which it has been conceptualised as a theoretical concept as well as policy making tool. This introduction will be of interest to all students of media and communication, as well as social scientists in general. [detailed...]

Robert Hassan
The Information Society

2008 y.
Publisher: Polity
Description: What are we to make of the information society? Many prominent theorists have argued it to be the most profound and comprehensive transformation of economy, culture and politics since the rise of the industrial way of life in the eighteenth century. Some saw its arrival in a positive light, where the dreams of democracy, of `connectivity` and `efficiency`, constituted a break with the old ways. But other thinkers viewed it more in terms of the recurrent nightmare of capitalism, where the processes of exploitation, commodification and alienation are given much freer rein than ever before. In this book Robert Hassan, a prominent theorist in new media and its effects, analyses and critically appraises these positions and forms them into a coherent narrative to illuminate the phenomenon. Surveying the works of major information society theorists from Daniel Bell to Nicholas Negroponte, and from Vincent Mosco to Manuel Castells, `The Information Society` is an invaluable resource [detailed...]

The subject seems inoffensive enough: the life of a German Jewish woman (a close family friend) who arrived in Colombia shortly before the Second World War. So why does his father attack him so viciously? Do the pages of his book unwittingly hide some dangerous secret? As Gabriel sets out to discover what lies behind his father`s anger, he finds himself undertaking an examination of the duplicity, guilt and obsession at the heart of Colombian society in World War II, when the introduction of blacklists of German immigrants corrupted and destroyed many lives. Half a century later, in a gripping narrative that unpacks like a set of Russian dolls, one treacherous act perpetrated in those dark days returns with a vengeance, leading the reader towards a literal, moral and metaphorical cliff [detailed...]

This was the first American work devoted to taxes on the devolution of real and personal property. Notable for its depth and range, this book considers the subject from three perspectives. The first traces the history of inheritance taxation from antiquity to about 1890 in continental Europe, the British Empire and the United States. The second explores its legal theory, especially in the laws of different states in the Union. The final analysis explores its connection to economic theory. West concludes that inheritance tax is an important democratic institution, one that helps tocreate a level playing field by eliminating an advantage enjoyed by the rich.
