"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"--
