"From the realm of advertising to the so-called 'empowering' networks of cyberspace, technologies continue to develop in ways that exacerbate social inequality. Information inequality presents a crisp and far-reaching indictment of the 'data deprivation' that corporate interests are inflicting on the social fabric. A rapid history of cultural and informational institutions in the U.S. over the last half century, Information Inequality identifies the underlying drives of privatization, deregulation, and commercialization that have caused us to lose our common ground. Herbert Schiller challenges us to begin the task of transforming the informational system into a network open enough to include everyone."--Publisher.
