Re: cultstud-l digest: October 14, 2002

Hi

In his excellent book "The Information Society" Christopher May suggests
that Fritz Machlup's "The Production and Distribution of Knowledge in the
United States" in 1962 coined the term "knowledge industries".

A reference also worth checking is Webster, F. (1995) Theories of the
Information Society. London: Routledge.

I know they're not definitive answers, but hopefully will help
