Culture, Inc.: The Corporate Takeover of Public Expression

Over the last fifty years corporations have steadily widened their economic, political, and cultural role in the United States and abroad. Control of such arenas as museums, theatres, performing arts centers, and public broadcasting systems has resulted, according to Schiller, in a broad manipulation of consciousness as well as an insidious form of censorship. "A disturbing but enlightening picture of corporate America, Culture Inc. exposes the agenda and methods of the corporate cultural takeover, reveals the growing threat to free access to information both at home and abroad, and explains how the few keep managing to benefit from the many."--the publisher.
