Media Capitalism by Thomas Klikauer
This book argues that media and capitalism no longer exist as separated entities, and posits three reasons why one can no longer exist without the other. Thirdly, media capitalism provides mass deception to hide the pathologies of capitalism, which include mass poverty, rising inequalities, and the acceleration of global warming.
The book is an important contribution to the debate on the role of the media within capitalist societiesit is quite well written, in accessible language. I recommend it to anyone seeking a better understanding of the issues at stake in the 21st century. Trade unionists in particular will find a lot of information and arguments to help them in their daily efforts to improve workers quality of life and working life.
