Meer over het boek

The book conducts a thorough content analysis of approximately 1,600 news items from British news organizations, examining their portrayal of economic and business news leading up to the 2008 Financial Crisis. It highlights how various political interpretations were presented, providing empirical evidence that challenges theoretical discussions about neoliberal media assumptions. Through three case studies—economic globalization, private finance and public services, and Tesco—the author reveals significant insights into the media's role in shaping economic narratives.
