Paperback. Condición: New. Over the last decade, the digital technologies in everyday life have multiplied. Our lives have been gradually taken over by digital devices, networks, and services. Although useful, they have also become invasive additions to our personal, professional and public lives. This process has occurred in a globalized and deregulated economy and a few US-based start-ups transformed into an oligopoly of multinationals that today govern the informational infrastructure of our societies.  This book offers an analytical framework of the contemporary internet studied through the lens of history and political economy. Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft are examined as emblematic products of a new capitalist order that is resolutely opposed to the original project of the internet.  The author retraces the process of commodification that resulted in financial rationales taking over from collective and individual emancipation and uncovers how this internet oligopoly uses its exorbitant market power to eliminate competition; take advantage of global financialization to exploit human labour on a global scale and to avoid taxation; and how it implements strategies to control our communication methods for accessing information and content online, thus increasingly controlling the digital public sphere. The book reveals how the reshaping of society via private company business models impact on the place of work in future societies, social and economic inequalities, and, ultimately, democracy. …

Hardback. Condición: New. Against the backdrop of transformations which have reconfigured access to information, communication, and collective discourse, The Political Economy of the Public Sphere critically examines the evolution of the public sphere from its origins in the 18th century to its contemporary digital transformation across Europe and the United States.Adopting a political economy lens, the book analyzes how this crucial space for public communication and opinion formation is intrinsically linked to capitalism. It is shaped by market dynamics, the concentration of media ownership, and the commodification of audiences and their attention. Author Nikos Smyrnaios delves into the material and immaterial resources-like infrastructure, technology, influence, and agenda-setting-that affect the public sphere's functioning. Identifying key turning points-from the rise of mass media and deregulation to the dominance of digital platforms-the chapters demonstrate the impact of theory, civic engagement, state interventions, and corporate influence. In doing so, the work navigates the tension between the ideal of a democratic public sphere and its reality as a space embedded in power relations and contributing to the reproduction of inequalities.Offering a comprehensive theoretical and historical overview of the transformations shaping today's media environment, the book provides a rigorous foundation for critically understanding the possibilities and limitations of mediated discourse in the 21st century. Ideal for scholars and students of media studies, political science, sociology and communication theory, it invites readers to reflect on historical precedents, confront current inequalities, and imagine alternative pathways for collective expression and democratic participation.…
