The Legacy of Robert A. Brady: Antifascist Origins of the Political Economy of Communications

Dan Schiller

Journal of Media Economics, 1999, vol. 12, issue 2, 89-101

Abstract: During its formative period in the United States, the political economy of communications was profoundly influenced by the teachings of the economist Robert A. Brady. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, within the broader political context of U.S. anti-fascism, Brady developed a potent analysis of emerging authoritarian economic and cultural practices. This framework was substantially carried over, and further developed, by the two pioneers of the political economy approach, Dallas W. Smythe and Herbert I. Schiller.
