{"product_id":"new-economy-new-myth-jean-gadrey-9780415301411","title":"New Economy, New Myth","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 'new economy' has been criticised greatly of late, and after the speculation and hype that surrounded the internet bubble, this is hardly surprising. This book, first published in French and updated here, however treats the 'new economy' as a discourse - one that is often misleading. In order to understand what happened during the internet bubble and the fuss that surrounded it, a central element - intellectual speculation - needs to be understood. \u003cem\u003eNew Economy, New Myth\u003c\/em\u003e treats this speculation as a form of 'ultra-free-market' thinking. According to this line of thought, the internet and the digital revolution are acting as a sort of Trojan horse in spreading market deregulation across the globe. With so much having been written about the new economy, this book employs a mixture of academic rigour and readable prose and comes as a welcome relief. It will be an intriguing read for those interested in the internet bubble - and the hyperbole that surrounded it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Gadrey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415301416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415301411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.76w x 0.70d","brand":"Jean Gadrey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136067940607,"sku":"9780415301411","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f49e4cc9-a127-4468-90d0-84cae02b8fff.jpg?v=1770160299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-economy-new-myth-jean-gadrey-9780415301411","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
