claim:friedman-associates-the-non-hierarchical-communication-network-to-the-participatory-dimension-of-a-democratic-society

Friedman associates the non-hierarchical communication network to the participatory dimension of a democratic society.

Interpretation that Friedman’s use of Baran’s distributed networks is a political statement for a non-paternalistic society.
