This volume is the first in-depth study of the relationship between Hollywood and its financiers from the early film entrepeneuers who established the trade at the turn of the century, through the present day multinational, diversified film coporations that dominate the communication/entertainment industry of the world.

Smythe has made important contributions to the study of the political economy of communications, as well as to the critical study of communication and information.

This fascinating book details the processes involved in turning raw materials and labour into feature films. Wasko surveys and critiques the policies and structure of the US film industry. This refreshing, critical look at the industry within economic, political and social contexts provides a valuable analysis of how Hollywood works.
