Political Economy in the Modern State is Harold Innis's
transitional and, in some respects, his most transformative book.
Completed in 1946, it is a collection of fifteen chapters plus a
remarkable Preface selected and crafted to address four main
themes: the problem of power and peace in the post-War era; the
ascent of specialized and mechanized forms of knowledge involving,
most particularly, the media, the state, and the academy; the
crisis facing civilization and, more generally, the modern penchant
for unreflexive short-term thinking in the face of mounting
contradictions; and Innis's growing focus on what would be called
media bias. In this new edition, editors Robert E. Babe and Edward
A. Comor provide not only a general introduction to Innis's largely
forgotten book but also dedicated introductions to each of its
fifteen chapters and a comprehensive index. Together, Babe and
Comor demonstrate how Innis's volume reflects a shift in Innis's
focus, away from analytical relativism towards, instead, a
reflexive search for objective truths.
