Publisher Comments:'Most Americans take for granted that they live in an open society with a free market of ideas. But as Herbert Schiller reveals in Culture, Inc., the corporate arm has reached into every corner of daily life, and from the shopping mall to the art gallery, big-business influence has brought about some frightening changes in American culture. Examining the effects of fifty years worth of corporate growth on American culture, Schiller argues that corporate control over such arenas of culture as museums, theaters, performing arts centers, and public broadcasting stations has resulted 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 at home and abroad, shows how independent channels of expression have been greatly restricted, and explains how the few keep managing to benefit from the many.' About the Author About the Author - Herbert I. Schiller is Professor of Communication at the University of California, San Diego. He is the author of a number of books including Information and the Crisis Economy, Who Knows: Information in the Age of the Fortune 500, Communications and Cultural Domination, The Mind Managers, and a co-author of Hope and Folly: The United States and UNESCO, 1945-1985.
