The government provision of free or subsidized bed nets to combat malaria in Benin allows the identification of new channels through which mass media affect public policy outcomes. Prior research has concluded that governments provide greater private benefits to better-informed individuals. This paper shows, for the first time, that governments can also respond by exploiting informed individuals' greater willingness to pay for these benefits. Using a "natural experiment" in radio markets in northern Benin, the paper finds that media access increases the likelihood that households pay for the bed nets they receive from government, rather than getting them for free. Households more exposed to radio programming on the benefits of bed nets and the hazards of malaria place a higher value on bed nets. Local government officials exercise significant discretion over bed net pricing and respond to higher demand by selling bed nets that they could have distributed for free. Mass media appears to change the private behavior of citizens-in this case, to invest more of their own resources on a public health good (bed nets)-but not their ability to extract greater benefits from government.

This book presents some of the most trenchant critical analyses of the widespread claims for the recent emergence of a knowledge economy and the attendant need for greater lifelong learning. The book contains two sections: first, general critiques of the limits of current notions of a knowledge economy and required adult learning, in terms of historical comparisons, socio-political construction and current empirical evidence; secondly, specific challenges to presumed relations between work requirements and learning through case studies in diverse current workplaces that document richer learning processes than knowledge economy advocates intimate. Many of the leading authors in the field are represented. There are no other books to date that both critically assess the limits of the notion of the knowledge economy and examine closely the relation of workplace restructuring to lifelong learning beyond the confines of formal higher education and related educational policies. This reader provides a distinctive overview for future studies of relations between work and learning in contemporary societies beyond caricatures of the knowledge economy.

Le monde de l'immateriel se substitue progressivement a l'univers industriel. Cet ouvrage nous aide a repenser notre maniere de construire ce nouveau monde, a travers la dynamique des differentes composantes de l'economie du savoir et de ses acteurs. Nous penetrons progressivement et durablement dans un nouveau monde immateriel ou le savoir et l'innovation sont au coeur de la croissance et du developpement economique. De nouveaux acteurs emergent et prosperent sur cette nouvelle scene de la connaissance : des travailleurs et des professionnels du savoir, des organisations intensives en connaissances, qui se localisent et fertilisent le plus souvent au sein d'agglomerations du savoir. Ils contribuent tous a alimenter cette "nouvelle economie".De maniere a apprehender au mieux cette economie du savoir et ses differents acteurs et espaces, l'ouvrage, se propose d'eclairer, de revisiter et d'approfondir le concept de savoir dans ses differentes dimensions : historique, sociologique et economique, en proposant notamment des categorisations et des grilles de lectures conceptuelles et pragmatiques pour en saisir les modes de construction, les enjeux et les perspectives.A la fois chercheur et consultant, l'ouvrage s'adresse a un large public comportant des managers, des professionnels, des consultants, des enseignants-chercheurs et des etudiants.

Le premier volume de cette série consacrée à Internet mesure l'impact d'Internet dans l'évolution de la société. Il questionne les conséquences de l'Internet sur la société, l'art, la science, l'économie et la politique ainsi que la pertinence des concepts d'"intelligence collective", de "société de l'information" et de "nouvelle économie". Dans le second volume de cette série consacrée à Internet, l'auteur réfute l'hypothèse selon laquelle les techniques détermineraient les cultures, les sociétés et l'économie. Le dernier volume de cette série évalue plus précisément les effets de l'Internet sur l'art, la politique, la science et l'économie.
