Abstract

The topic of labour and international communications is becoming a politically-relevant one due to the rapid spread of the new technology worldwide. I am here referring to automation, computerisation, satellite transmission, to such mass media as the electronically-set/transmitted/printed newspaper, to television and video. Such technologies and media have been developed by multinational companies in the core capitalist states, frequently as spin-offs from state-subsidised military research and development. There is, thus, every reason to assume that this is bad news for those at the bottom of every power hierarchy - of class, gener, race or faith - nationally or internationally. 'Informatisation' of the world economy, polity and culture affects labour inernationally in at least two obvious ways.
