IT capitalism [1]: economy (G. Lins Ribeiro)

ByEdward Eggleston

“A more sophisticated understanding of intellectual cooperation and innovation calls for the understanding of great sociological, economic, political and technological forces surrounding them. In this essay, I discuss the hegemony of electronic-computer capitalism and the changes it provokes in economic, academic and political life, in order to situate in a larger context the issues and challenges we currently face.” (G. Lins Ribeiro)

He advises that policy-makers and education stakeholders determine the scope of this supplementary intervention and understand its impact to better shape the inevitable overlaps of these two domains.”
