Abstract
[The recognition of support-bargaining and money-bargaining as basic to the functioning of societies involves recognition also of the role of information. Transactions are evaluated on the basis of informationinformation, but beyond that, our whole experience is based on information. Our minds only deal with information. Information is used not so much in pursuit of truth as for the advance of interests in transactions of support-bargaining and money-bargaining. Information is codified for transmission. Neoclassical economic theory has subordinated its concepts to the requirements of mathematical codification. Media organisations disseminate information that affects the distribution of support, giving them an active and essential role in the process of government. The impossibility of identifying truth has meant that people develop localised understanding in their different spheres of what will constitute truth adequate to their purpose.]
