He shows that, in advanced economies, production is now concentrated among an educated segment of the population aged between 25 and 40. He suggests that the result of this progressive trend may not be mass unemployment, but rather the extreme flexibilization of labor, the individualization of the workforce, and, consequently, a highly segmented social structure. Castells concludes by examining the effects and implications of technological transformation on media culture (“the culture of real virtuality”), urban life, global politics, and time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWritten by one of the greatest social scientists of our time, \u003cem\u003eThe Network Society\u003c\/em\u003e is the first volume of the trilogy \u003cem\u003eThe Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture\u003c\/em\u003e , which also includes \u003cem\u003eThe Power of Identity\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eEnd of the Millennium\u003c\/em\u003e .\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159404167420,"sku":"9788577530366","price":139.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/2d87ec7f5e25470187e913d5e4a026fb_c0cfa4fb-a798-4f8d-9b8e-444914642516.jpg?v=1778318108"},{"product_id":"o-poder-da-identidade-vol-2-a-era-da-informacao-economia-sociedade-e-cultura","title":"The Power of Identity (Vol. 2 The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture)","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe second volume of the trilogy The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e In this book, the author examines the two major conflicting trends shaping today's world: globalization and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eManuel Castells describes the origins, purposes, and effects of activist movements such as feminism and environmentalism, which aim to transform human relations at their most fundamental level, as well as conservative movements, which build trenches of resistance in the name of God, nation, ethnicity, family, or locality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe author shows that the basic categories of existence are being threatened by the combined and conflicting assaults of technoeconomic forces and transformative social movements, each using the new power of the media to further their ambitions.

End of the Millennium is the final volume of Manuel Castells' fascinating trilogy, The Information Age: Economy, Society, and Culture. This revised and expanded edition includes a new preface by the author on the processes of global social change induced by the transition from the old industrial society to the emerging global network society. This book presents a study of the collapse of the Soviet Union, attributing its demise to the inability of industrial statism to lead the country's transition to the information age. The volume also highlights the growth of inequality, polarization, and social exclusion worldwide, taking Africa as examples, urban poverty, and the various forms of child exploitation. Furthermore, Manuel Castells analyzes the globalization of organized crime, which profoundly affects the economies and politics of several countries. It assesses the political and cultural foundations of the emergence of the Asia-Pacific as the most dynamic region of the global economy and reflects on the contradictions of European unification, proposing the concept of the network state. In the overall conclusion of the trilogy, included in this volume, Castells ties together the threads of his arguments and findings, presenting a systematic interpretation of our world at the turn of the millennium.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175880147196,"sku":"9788577533824","price":129.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/41825ac00449391e81099f40d83193ed.jpg?v=1778311110"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/a-era-da-informacao.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
