Elizabeth Eisenstein and Siva Vaidhyanathan on the emancipatory role of the print revolution

Michel Bauwens

14th March 2011

In this clip of Steal This Film 2, “Eisenstein describes the conditions of scarcity that characterized the book as artifact in the age of the scribe. Thereafter she describes the printed word’s role in the reformation, and how this served to transform the Catholic church’s view of print – towards which it had initially been positive – and sparked attempts to control its influence.”
