There is a clear need for a systematic, integrative, and rigorous
normative theory of the information society. In this book, Duff
offers a prescriptive theory to help to guide the academic and
policy communities as they debate the future shape of emerging
post-industrial, information-based societies. He argues that
information policy needs to become anchored in a left-liberal
philosophy which foregrounds a feasible permutation of the core
ideals of freedom, equality and brotherhood. The information
society, if it is to be worth having at all, cannot be allowed to
be largely the outcome of the free play of market forces and
technological determinism. The social structure, including the
information economy, must be subjected to a regulatory axiological
system as explicated by some leading proponents of social
democracy. This text will be of interest to scholars and students
at the cutting edge of information studies, journalism and media,
computer science, sociology, politics, philosophy, management and
law.
