David Harvey is one of my favorite scholars, and if your want a good (and short!) big picture view of the economic philosophy that got us into this mess, you can read Harvey’s Brief History of Neoliberalism.

Nonetheless, these are some important views you will certainly not hear on Mad Money!

Now available, Antonio's health and media literacy CDROM curriculum for youth of color, Merchants of Culture. This valuable resource contains dozens of video and print examples of how advertisers market harmful substances such as alcohol and tobacco to various niche audiences, including Native Americans, Latinos, African Americans, Asians, GLBT and Women. This is an excellent primer for introducing the subject of cultural marketing to high school and middle school students. This is also a great product for health professionals and councilors working in the area of prevention.
