Control through Communication

''[This book's] timeliness is remarkable. Now that the Western system of responsible (that is, profit-based) production has emerged as the victor over command economies, the secrets of how we did it may replace foreign relations as `topic A' at conferences, and historians who continue to reject `material civilization' as unworthy of genuine scholars will do so at their peril. This little book can keep them in the game.''--American Historical Review.Studies in Industry and Society.Glenn Porter, General Editor.
