The Political Economy of Communication Reviews

`The political economy approach to mass media and communications scholarship has been amongst the most productive and inventive fields of work in recent years. Vincent Mosco has performed a heroic and invaluable task in mapping its intellectual and institutional history. But this is more than a masterful synopsis, it is also an original contribution to which students and scholars alike will turn for both reference and stimulus for years to come' - Professor Peter Golding, Loughborough University

`Clearly one of the most important books of the decade about the study of communications and where it is going. A volume of encyclopedic scope - it is scholarly and accessible, sympathetic yet honest. Mosco's prodigious work about political economy is not only an unparalleled contribution, it will be one of its pillars' - Professor Thomas Guback, University of Illinois
