La fábrica de sueños vista desde la Economía Política

The film business has been an oligopoly industry from their beginning. A few Majors has always sharedout the bigger part of the film market share. Nowadays the convergence of mass media has emphasized thisconcentration. None of the big studios is independent. Each of them is part of a giant conglomerate that ownsa whole range of media, from publishing, radio or television stations, to theatres. They control the creation,production, distribution and final sell of the product. From our perspective, the consequences over creativityand pluralism of this film business and media ownership structure are not positive at all. We might rather talkabout the homogenization of content and the spectacularity and industrialization of culture as an outcome ofthis situation.
