Blockbusters And Trade Wars: Popular Culture In A Globalized World - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

Yet a dwindling number of media conglomerates ? significantly American controlled ? are increasingly herding consumers toward very profitable ?blockbuster” films, books, and recordings at the expense of independent and alternative works. Presenting an essential international perspective, Blockbusters and Trade Wars reveals links between freedom of expression and intellectual diversity.
