Abstract:

The book reviewed here contends that production techniques - and in particular today, techniques embodying modern information technology - determine political attitudes and, hence, the structure and role of the state. The book's author, Jean-Jacques Rosa, is not successful in making a compelling case for this thesis. He does, though, offer a host of fascinating observations along the way.

Keywords: Computer; Information Technology; Decentralization; Role of the State; Ideology
