註釋The world that was revolutionized by industrialization is being remade
by the information revolution. But this is mostly a revolution from above,
increasingly shaped by a new class of technocrats, experts, and professionals
in the service of corporate capitalism.
Using Marx as a touchstone, Timothy W. Luke warns that if communities
are not to be overwhelmed by new class economic and political agendas,
then the practice of democracy must be reconstituted on a more populist
basis. However, the galvanizing force for this new, more community-centered
populism will not be the proletariat, as Marx predicted, nor contemporary
militant patriotic groups. Rather, Luke argues that many groups unified
by a concern for ecological justice present the strongest potential opposition
to capitalism.
Wide-ranging and lucid, Capitalism, Democracy, and Ecology is
essential reading in the age of information.
