Reviews

An important contribution to the ongoing debate on the economic impact of technological advances in the information and communication sectors ... In recent years, when the hype concerning the advent of the so-called 'new economy' was at its height, much has been said and written about the almost miraculous virtues of the ICT revolution. This book has the important merit of looking at the issue from a more balanced and informed perspective... highly welcome as an important contribution, from which everybody concerned with technological progress, economic growth and development will benefit. --Review of Political Economy<br>
