"The Alphabet Versus the Goddess" -Tribal Jazzman Scholar, Episode #32

Your Welcome.There is also another author called Harold Innis.He was a Canadian just like Marshall.His studies involved looking at past societies and their means of communication.

What he found was that communities that used stone writing would usually wind up being controlled by a class of priests whereas societies that used some primitive form of paper would

usually become more bureaucratic and militaristic because leaves or paper was more easily movable.Fascinating.

@ossiorn1 Thank you for the lead. I just purchased Innis's The Bias of Communication.  It looks fascinating. I appreciate the lead.

Have you read the work of Marshall Mcluhan?Some of it ties into this.

@ossiorn1 I confess to not having read McLuhan, but Leonard Shlain discusses McLuhan's work in the book I am referencing in this posting. I think I would like to explore McLuhan's work. Thanks for the lead. And thanks for watching/listening.
