Information Inequality: The Deepening Social Crisis in America

Information Inequality: The Deepening Social Crisis in America by Schiller, Herbert. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780415907651.

Herbert Schiller, long one of Americas leading critics of the communications industry, here offers a salvo in the battle over information. In Information Inequality he explains how privatization and the corporate economy directly affect our most highly prized democratic institutions: schools and libraries, media, and political culture. A master media-watcher, Schiller presents a crisp and far-reaching indictment of the "data deprivation" corporate interests are inflicting on the social fabric.
