Abstract

One of the fields of social sciences that historically conceived of technology as a crucial tool for the progress and transformation of societies is the Economy. From this vision, authors such as Machlup, Bell, Masuda, Castells and Schwab explained the social transformations from the second half of the 20th century to the present through the economy-technology relationship. From this perspective, the production of knowledge is understood as an economic activity derived from the ability of society to create technologies applied to social development.
