I am currently working on my master thesis which examines the effect
of the advent of ICTs on Latin American economies through the lens of
the French theory of regulation ("l'Ecole de la Régulation").
In an introductory chapter I would like to outline the concepts of "technology"
and "technological change" to be found in major theories of economic
development (modernisation theories, dependence theories, globalisation
paradigm,
etc.)
* Are there any general surveys of this topic available?
* Which authors would you include in such an analysis (e.g. A. Gerschenkron
crossed my mind)
Thanks in advance,
