Discusses the notion of knowledge cultures in relation to claims for the economy and the communicative turn, as well as cultural economy and the politics of postmodernity. This book also focuses on national policy constructions of the knowledge economy, fast knowledge and the role of the so-called new pedagogy and social learning.

This book develops the notion of ''knowledge cultures'' as a basis for understanding the possibilities of education and development in the age of knowledge capitalism. ''Knowledge cultures'' refers to the cultural preconditions in the new production of knowledge and their basis in shared practices, embodying preferred ways of doing things often developed over many generations. These practices also point to the way in which cultures have different repertoires of representational and non-representational forms of knowing. The book discusses knowledge cultures in relation to claims for the new economy, as well as cultural economy and the politics of postmodernity. It focuses on national policy constructions of the knowledge economy, ''fast knowledge'' and the role of the so-called ''new pedagogy'' and social learning under these conditions.
