Críticas

Highly original and interesting. This is the first study to bring together and evaluate all the different strands of literature that address the issue of technological change. An ambitious and very significant contribution to the literature. -- Trevor Pinch, Goldwin Smith Professor of Science and Technology Studies, Cornell University

Reseña del editor

In this original and thoughtful book, Govindan Parayil draws together current scholarship from disciplines ranging from history to economics to sociology as he develops a cohesive theory of technological change. Drawing on a detailed case study of the Green Revolution in Indian agriculture, Parayil convincingly argues that technological change is contingent upon the social-historical process of knowledge change.
