Conclusion  a"Caroline Jack reveals how specifically American capitalism has been created and made to seem inevitable through the propagation of its rhetoric and values in the most ephemeral of materials: public service announcements, pamphlets, educational films, and games--what she calls collectively 'economic education media.' These items, which found their ways into classrooms and onto the airwaves, promoted a distinctive conservatism under the cloaks of public service and civic education, linking and defining such protean terms as 'the American way of life' and 'free enterprise.' This rhetoric remains dominant--a harbinger of the power of disinformation that so besets us today 4aCapitalismo zEstados Unidos  4aMedios de comunicaciónxAspectos políticoszEstados Unidos. 4aEstados UnidosxCondiciones económicas
