| Abstract: | Markets depend for their efficiency on the flow of information stimulated by entrepreneurial activity. The economic revolution stimulated by the advent of computers in the West could, argues Sheldon Richman of the Institute for Humane Studies, Fairfax, Virginia, lead to political revolution in the Eastern Bloc as governments become unable to restrict the flow of information to their citizens. |
