The Firm in the Context of Class Conflict

Michael Perelman

Chapter 3 in Information, Social Relations and the Economics of High Technology, 1991, pp 90-140 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As economists watched the US economy face the prospect of deindustrialization, many of them took solace in the promise of a service economy in which information rather than real capital goods would become the strategic resource. This new perception of the future, helped to spark an interest in the theory of the firm. In Chapter 2, I showed how first fixed capital and then generalized factors of production became the central focus of the theory of the firm, however deficient that theory might have been.
