Every Nook and Cranny: The Dangerous Spread of Commercialized Culture
The Multinational Monitor just published an article by Professor Juliet Schor and me, titled "Every Nook and Cranny: The Dangerous Spread of Commercialized Culture."
Professor Schor is the author of Born to Buy: The Commercialized Child and the New Consumer Culture, which is the best book about how the commercial culture hurts children. She is also on our board of directors.
And the Multinational Monitor is -- by far -- the best magazine covering issues of corporate power, crime and violence.

Gary makes an excellent point here on the insidiousness of the corporate game: that the anti-tax movement started by corporations that began in the 1970's was responsible for creating the need of public schools for outside funding. Thus, the creation of things like "pouring rights" and Channel One naturally occurred.
