books: Knowledge: It’s Creation, Distribution, and Economic Significance

I was excited to check out this book, the title is really impressive and seems closely tied to my subject.  However, when I found it I found three volumes.  The first is Knoweldge and Knowledge Production.  The second is The Branches of Learning.  The thirds is The Economics of Information and Human Capital.  All look facinating.  The set is huge and dense, and published in the 1980s. I’d be interested in what Machlup would have to say about the impact of electronic information in the context of his research.

All-in-all, for the scope of this project, these will serve more as reference resources than texts I spend time with and reflect on.  Nevertheless, they’ll serve as good resources.
