Recenzje

'The Technological Economy offers a valuable view on economics for a potentially large variety of cultural scientists. Its multidisciplinary approach researches and emphasizes the relations between economics, technology, politics and media. This is why the book definitely fills a gap in the currently available titles in sociology as well as in cultural science.' - Mosaïek Magazine
