Description
In this major new collection, leading experts explore the multidisciplinary connections between technology and economy, drawing on new convergences between economic sociology and science and technology studies. Through theoretical and empirical studies, the authors investigate:
* economics and economic knowledges as technologies
* the economies as socio-technical arrangements
* the nature of innovation
* the role of technological mediations in representing and performing economies.
This revealing book, ideal for those with an interest in contemporary social theory, interrogates the evidence for the contemporary claims about the emergence of the 'new economy' and 'knowledge-based economies' and sheds new light on the relationship between economy and culture.

Reviews / Votes
'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.' - Mosaiek MagazineMore details
