Research
Brett's most recent book is Digital Media Economics. Written for a wide audience, from undergraduate and graduate students to citizens and activists, his book explains how economics has influenced the digital technologies that we use every day. Most media texts won′t tell you much about economic terms, concepts or principles; his book explains the economic theory and history underpinning everything from advertising to computers, social networking sites and streaming services.
