Inside the Black Box: Technology and Economics

Economists have long treated technological phenomena as events transpiring inside a black box and, on the whole, have adhered rather strictly to a self-imposed ordinance not to inquire too seriously into what transpires inside that box. The purpose of Professor Rosenberg's work is to break open and examine the contents of the black box. In so doing, a number of important economic problems be powerfully illuminated.Nathan Rosenberg is the author of 'Inside the Black Box: Technology and Economics', published 1983 under ISBN 9780521248082 and ISBN 0521248086.
