Review of Jean-Jacques Rosa, The Second Twentieth Century

Donald Boudreaux

International Journal of the Economics of Business, 2008, vol. 15, issue 3, pages 379-382

Abstract: The book reviewed here contends that production techniques - and in particular today, techniques embodying modern information technology - determine political attitudes and, hence, the structure and role of the state. The book's author, Jean-Jacques Rosa, is not successful in making a compelling case for this thesis. He does, though, offer a host of fascinating observations along the way.
