The communications revolution

Abstract

Since I first heard it I have been very fond of an expression coined by a Swedish MP. She said: ‘If Karl Marx were living now, he would not have written Das Kapital; he would have written Die Information’. This expression well captures the importance we suddenly attribute to issues of communications and information. It serves well to indicate how these issues have invaded the social, economic and political agenda, nationally and internationally.
