| Description: |
A thesis which claims that the treatment of information as a commodity through modern computer and telecommunication technology will innevitably result in the reduction of access to information. This, in turn will mean that information will become a class-based privilege, metered out by the corporate sector. |
| Synopsis: |
Michael Perelman reveals how the efforts of business to profit from the sale of information will result in a reduction rather than an increase in access to information. He demonstrates how the treatment of information as a commodity will cause it to be more regulated and less accessible. In the future, Perelman argues, accessing and affording information will still be a class-based privilege, and the rights of individuals will disintegrate as the power of the corporate sector grows. |
