This book is really great. It offers a very good treatment of the general picture of the great technological innovations such as railroads, automobiles and the Internet. It is particularly useful for thinking about the relationship between technology and financial markets a macro photo. In other words, seems like a simple application of Schumpeter, some historical events. In addition, there is little evidence to substantiate the theory. Despite this limitation is a book to think seriously about it. Another book I recommend as a complement to this is the madness, by Carl Haacke. The two were a perfect combination, if not absolutely necessary. Frenzy is more of a micro-image and more complete data and interviews to create within the framework of perspectives.

I'm not a Shumpeterian, and not much of a student of economics in general, but I was very pleased with Carlota Perez, technological revolutions and financial capital impressed. "I was involved with software development for the past 17 years, but have not read other disciplines to see how the explosion of the revolution in information technology. Perez is a strong argument for "long wave", neo-Schupeterian economic analysis of the 5 technological revolutions since 1700. (Note that Perez is different from Schumpeter, especially their views on how the financial impact of the various technological revolutions.) If true, we are on the threshold of a new era "gold standard" of the digital computer revolution . Those of us who were with the daily work of the computer revolution would do well to listen to Perez to understand where this revolution is.

There are good reasons, this book is nearly new and used: No one who want to read it to give up. As a writer on technology that often difficulties in the Internet bubble and the bust in perspective, I found the statement by Mrs. Perez, the way that the technological revolutions deep beneath revealing. It is especially useful for me in the stories I wrote, would fight it to cite historical precedent, both the initial expectations about the impact of the global Internet and the reaction was disturbed that the dot-com would be the downfall of the Internet never both. History is not destiny, of course, and you can not slavishly follow the period of the previous revolutions, determine exactly where we tried on the current revolution SA, but when I follow the development of various Internet technologies, I am constantly thinking about it to reveal the patterns of technological revolutions and financial capital, what I see today are related. Who are needed for the technology, economics or public policy in order to understand the dynamics shown in this book.
