Hardback. Zustand: Good. "A rollicking tale of how Mattel spied, copied, and stole its way to market dominance, then fought with military intensity to compel us to buy more and more." --The New York Times The secret history of Barbie and what Mattel has done to keep her on top. For nearly seven decades, Mattel billed Barbie as the first adult doll--a revolutionary alternative to the baby dolls before her, which had treated little girls as future mothers rather than future women. But Barbie was no original. She was a knockoff: a nearly identical copy of a German doll now erased from the narrative in favor of Mattel's preferred version of history. It was Barbie's first secret but far from her last. In the "brilliant" (New York magazine) Barbieland, the long-hidden backstory of the world's most famous doll is finally exposed. After snuffing out her predecessor, Barbie climbed to the throne of global girlhood and stayed there, fending off rivals with a mix of strategic marketing, government influence, ruthless litigation, and covert tactics worthy of a classic spy novel. This "must-read" (John Jeremiah Sullivan, author of Pulphead) ride through the underbelly of American business pulls back the curtain on the corporate titans, cultural influencers, and toyland rivals who shaped this icon's world--from flawed founder Ruth Handler to convicted Wall Street fraudster (and improbable Barbie savior) Michael Milken to the Bratz doll empire, which once put the brand on life support. Through investigative reporting, global archival research, and interviews with key players from across the Barbie extended universe, Barbieland lays bare the unseen--and so often absurd--work that made Mattel a multibillion-dollar business and turned Barbie into an institution: a symbol as synonymous with American soft power as Coca-Cola and McDonald's french fries.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - «Turbulenter und unterhaltsamer als ein Film.» The New York Times«Hochintelligent, brillant.» New York MagazineBILD-Cartoon, umstrittenes Spielzeug, popkulturelles Phänomen: Von ihren weniger bekannten Anfängen als sexy Werbepuppe über ihr großes Makeover in den 2000ern bis hin zu Mattels Marketing-Coup «Barbie»: Seit knapp siebzig Jahren verkauft Mattel Generationen von Mädchen Vorstellungen von Weiblichkeit. Mal ist Barbie Symbol des weiblichen Fortschritts, mal eine unperfekte Heldin, die mit der Zeit geht, mal ein Epitom für die Kapitalisierung des Feminismus, mal eine leidige Kakerlake, die den Atomkrieg überlebt hat.Genüsslich seziert Tarpley Hitt die irre Geschichte ihres Welterfolgs und legt eine gut geölte Maschinerie aus absurd-genialen Marketing-Strategien, Industriespionage und globaler Ausbeutung frei. Am Ende dieser äußerst unterhaltsamen Demontage stößt sie uns auf den düsteren Kern eines der erfolgreichsten Spielzeuge der Welt - und der ist nichts für Zartbesaitete.…
