{"product_id":"digital-capitalism-book-dan-schiller-9780262194174","title":"Digital Capitalism","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe networks that comprise cyberspace were originally created at the behest of government agencies, military contractors, and allied educational institutions. Over the past generation or so, however, a growing number of these networks began to serve primarily corporate users. Under the sway of an expansionary market logic, the Internet began a political-economic transition toward what Dan Schiller calls digital capitalism.Schiller traces these metamorphoses through three critically important and interlinked realms. Parts I and I deal with the overwhelmingly neoliberal or market-driven policies that influence and govern the telecommunications system and their empowerment of transnational corporations while at the same time exacerbating exisiting social inequalities. Part I shows how cyberspace offers uniquely supple instruments with which to cultivate and deepen consumerism on a transnational scale, especially among privileged groups. Finally, Part IV shows how digital capitalism has already overtaken education, placing it at the mercy of a proprietary market logic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49934153416977,"sku":"CIN0262194171G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50145925660945,"sku":"GOR003438367","price":10.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50312650391825,"sku":"CIN0262194171VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262194171.jpg?v=1751439943","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/products\/digital-capitalism-book-dan-schiller-9780262194174","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
