But while the term "cultural industries" since the Frankfurt School has become well-accepted on the left  and elsewhere  there are still very few critical left studies analyzing concretely how the sphere of cultural activities function within capitalism, both on a national as well as an international scale.

This collection of texts sets forth such an analysis. By scrutinizing contemporary cultural production from a critical economic and sociological viewpoint it attempts to understand the mechanisms and processes underlying such phenomena as the cultural commodity, the cultural industries, children's cultural products, artistic and intellectual creation, information systems and cable television.
