The Social and Economic Impact of Nanotechnologies: A Literature Review
Released on 18 May 2009, the 'Social and Economic Impact of Nanotechnologies: A Literature Review' by Monash University, Melbourne report provides an overview of trends in the Social and Economic Impacts of Nanotechnologies that are covered in national and international literature (particularly focussed on socio-economic literature, rather than scientific literature).
The review identifies gaps in the literature and will inform any further work on social and economic impacts of nanotechnologies conducted by the Victorian State Government's Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research.
It should be noted that this report is an analysis of the literature on the social and economic impacts of nanotechnologies – it is not an assessment of the issues themselves or of the appropriateness of or need for particular responses (other than where this is a reflection of the literature).
