Features: This book attempts to establish a new paradigm of information political economy on the basis of critiquing neoclassical economics. The author constructs a framework of the information space and, within this framework, discusses the transformations of organizations, institutions, and culture under the influence of information and its communication technologies. Using the modernization processes of countries such as China as examples, the author illustrates the effectiveness of the information space theory as an explanatory framework. This book will help us form a fresh understanding of the information age.
