Living in the Number One Country: Reflections from a Critic of American Empire Reflections from a Critic of American Empire

Living in the Number One Country is a wonderfully written memoir that also provides a crystal clear introduction to the main themes in Schiller's research: the role of corporate communication in perpetuating global imperialism and inequality; the incompatibility of a commercially marinated society with a sane, humane and happy society; and the bankruptcy of mainstream communication scholarship to address these enormous issues. Through it all, Schiller's fundamental love for justice and truth shines through, as does his faith in the ability of people to govern their own lives. This is a book for activists and scholars of the coming generation. Robert W. McChesney, author of Rich Media, Poor Media
