"From Electronic Government to Information Government"
Book Chapter
By Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger, Faculty Affiliate and David Lazer
"This chapter first lays out the current state of understanding of electronic government, because most of the attention to information and government in the last decade has come under this rubric.
