KW - local N1 - Open Access N2 - "The Franklin Ford Collection offers a curated tour into Franklin Ford's writing, and aims at putting them "into relation" for the very first time. The 19 texts of the collection were selected for many (and sometimes diverging) reasons. While some are typical of Ford, others are uncharacteristic. Some stand out for the density of the theoretical arguments, while others attest to Ford's little-known professional trajectory. Overall, the documents expose the three core themes developed by Ford throughout the years: 1) the specific problems of the press and the many remedies he envisioned; 2) the interconnected flows of money, transportation, and communication central to modern industrial societies; and 3) the political and social theory that lay behind Ford's projects and which became more explicit in his later years"-- UR - https://muse.jhu.edu/book/113697/ ER -
