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.0In 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. 606 $aEconomic history 607 $aCanada$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aCanadian economic history. 610 $aHarold Innis. 610 $acapacity. 610 $acivilization. 610 $aculture. 610 $aknowledge. 610 $amediabias. 610 $aontology. 610 $apolitical economy. 610 $astaples. 615 0$aEconomic history. 676 $a320 700 $aInnis$b Harold, $01568733 702 $aBabe$b Robert, 702 $aComor$b Edward, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793364903321 996 $aPolitical Economy in the Modern State$93841088 997 $aUNINA
