As Time Goes by: From the Industrial Revolutions to the Information Revolution Hardcover - 2001

by Iseg Louca; Chris Freeman; Francisco Louca Iseg


From the publisher

The Internet and mobile telephones have made everyone more aware than ever of the computer revolution and its effects on the economy and society. 'As Time Goes By' puts this revolution in the perspective of previous waves of technical change: steam-powered mechanization, electrification, and motorization. It argues for a theory of reasoned economic history which assigns a central place to these successive technological revolutions.

First line

Time is as mysterious as life: some thousands of years of efforts by science and philosophy have not been sufficient to unveil its secrets and enable us to understand its nature and motion.
