Dependency Road

Book excerpt: A study of the process by which people organized in the capitalist system produced a country called Canada as a dependency of the United States, the center of the core of the capitalist system. Rotted in the realistic history of how monopoly capitalism was created in the United States and Canada simultaneously, it focuses on the role of communications institutions (press, magazines, books, films, radio and television broadcasting, telecommunications, the arts, sciences, and engineering) in producing the necessary consciousness and ideology to seem to legitimate that dependency.
