Harold Innis Knihy

Political Economy in the Modern State is Harold Innis's transitional and, in some respects, his most transformative book. Its main themes include the problem of power and peace, the ascent of specialization and mechanized forms of knowledge, and the crisis facing democracy and civilization.

First published in 1951, this masterful collection of essays explores the relationship between a society's communication media and that community's ability to maintain control over its development.
