Chicago : The University of Chicago Press, 2024 263 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Includes bibliographical references and index. Introduction. Left to perish in debris The contradictions of economic education Selling America to Americans Expertise and affirmation The great free enterprise campaign The new economics From institutions to markets The triumphs of economic education Conclusion "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 Capitalismo Estados Unidos 2799 Medios de comunicación Aspectos políticos Estados Unidos. 3038 Estados Unidos Condiciones económicas 1543 lcc BK cmc 127203 127203 0 0 lcc 0 0 CS BJB BJB CS 2026-05-22 0 HB 501 J12b 2024 00000199844 2026-05-22 12:23:00 1 2026-05-22 BK
