New industrial (informational) technologies, harnessed by out-of-control capitalism destroy collective memory: creating a crisis of belief, a disintegration of symbolic (and financial) credit. Yet, there is exciting political potential for emerging socio-technical formations. Stiegler is our twenty-first century public intellectual.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eScott Lash, Goldsmiths College\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Decadence of Industrial Democracies\u003c\/i\u003e extends Bernard Stieglers relentless remapping of hyperindustrial modernity. It is a key text for anyone who wishes to understand the link between today's telecratic politics of memory and whatever transformations stand beyond it. It demonstrates that Stiegler is not just the radical thinker of technics but also the genealogist of cognitive morals.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTom Cohen, State University of New York at Albany\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI.
