About this product
Product Information
Is the official collection of information on individuals inevitably leading to the creation of a 'Big Brother State'? In this innovative interdisciplinary study, Edward Higgs takes issue with writers such as Michel Foucault and Anthony Giddens who argue that state information gathering can be seen in terms of an expansion towards modernity, and as social control. Using ground-breaking historical research, Higgs reveals that, since 1500, the English state has always been an Information State although the nature of that state has changed markedly over the last 500 years. In its modern form, the Information State is as much about winning consent via the provision of benefits as repression in the interests of elites. The Information State in England - Draws upon a wide range of sociological theory and historical research, as well as evidence gathered from archival sources - Challenges many assumptions about state formation and the role of information - Views the development of the state in terms of the changing balance between decentralized and centralized forms of governance - Provides a critique of sociological and postmodernist concepts of modernity

~~~This was an excellent find for hard to get book sold out in many stores in Australia. Item as described. Communication was good. After the seller explained that delay in sending was that they had to wait to receive as it is a "special import title" they delivered after only a couple of days of receiving the item. Postage was fast (it only took 3 days to arrive) and the packaging was excellent. Recommended eBay seller~~~
