Harold Innis
Harold Innis was a prominent Canadian economist and communication theorist whose work in the mid-20th century laid the foundation for the study of media and its impact on society. He is best known for his concepts of time-biased and space-biased media, which explore how different forms of communication influence the development of cultures and economies. Innis's analysis of Canada's resource-based economy and its historical dependence on staple commodities has had a lasting impact on Canadian economic thought.
