Cinema and the wealth of nations : media, capital, and the liberal world system / Lee Grievson Oakland, California: University of California Press,
Call No: 203(73) GRIAuthor: Grievson, Lee Edition: 2018Place: Oakland, CaliforniaPublisher: University of California PressPhysDes: xvi, 466 pages : illustrated ; 24cmSubject: ECONOMICS AND THE CINEMA. US ; NATIONAL CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. USA ; CAPITALISM AND THE CINEMA ; FINANCING. USA ; INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION. USA Summary: Cinema and the Wealth of Nations explores how media, principally in the form of cinema, was used during the interwar years by elite institutions to establish and sustain forms of liberal political economy beneficial to their interests. It examines the media produced by institutions such as states, corporations, and investment banks, as well as the emergence of a corporate media industry and system supported by state policy and integral to the establishment of a new consumer system. Lee Grieveson shows how media was used to encode liberal political and economic power during the period that saw the United States eclipse Britain as the globally hegemonic nation and the related inauguration of new forms of liberal economic globalization. But this is not a distant history. Cinema and the Wealth of Nations examines a foundational conjuncture in the establishment of media forms and a media system instrumental in, and structural to, the emergence and expansion of a world system that has been—and continues to be—brutally violent, unequal, and destructive. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780520291690Contents: List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- -- 1.

He follows the growth of Sundance from a regional film festival to the premier showcase of independent film that it became, showing how it succeeded almost despite Robert Redford, whose visionary plans were often thwarted by his quixotic personality. He charts the meteoric rise of the controversial Harvey Weinstein, often described as the last mogul who, with his brother Bob, left a trail of carnage in his wake, yet created an Oscar factory that is the envy of the studios.
