The Quality of Monopoly Capitalist Society: Culture and Communications

Abstract

This is a hitherto unpublished chapter of Paul A. Baran and Paul M. Sweezy, Monopoly Capital (New York: Monthly Review Press, 1966). The text as published here has been edited and includes notes by John Bellamy Foster. The style conforms to that of their book. Part of the original draft chapter, dealing with mental health, was still incomplete at the time of Baran's death in 1964, and consequently has not be included in this published version. For the larger intellectual context see the introduction to this issue.
