Harold Innis (1894 - 1952) was a brilliant original thinker and
professor of political economy at the University of Toronto. He is
known for his seminal works on media, communication theory and
Canadian economic history. Innis's great mind exposed the role of
media in shaping the culture and the development of civilizations.
For instance, he argued that a balance between oral and written
forms of communication enabled the flourishing of the Greek
civilization in the 5th century BC. He was extremely concerned
about the destructive effect of powerful, advertising-driven media,
preoccupied with "present-mindedness" and the "continuous,
systematic, ruthless destruction of elements of permanence
essential to cultural activity." This book features three of his
essays: "The Strategy of Culture," "The Military Implications of
the American Constitution" and "Roman Law and the British Empire."
