Books by Adrian Johns

2. Adrian Johns, Death of a Pirate: British Radio and the Making of the Information Age .  A very good book on the history of radio, but the real bonus is the history of economic thought section, covering what Coase, Hayek, Arnold Plant and others thought of the BBC in its early years and how that related to debates over The Road to Serfdom .  I hadn't know that some of the British pirate stations of the 1960s were inspired by Hayek.  Plus it's only $4.68 in hardcover.
