Advertising, the Uneasy Persuasion (1984)
In the mid 1980s Schudson used the term "capitalist realism" to describe mainstream practices in advertising.[1] Chapter seven of Schudson's Advertisng: The Uneasy Persuasion compares the messages and appeals of advertising to those found in the Socialist Realism of the Soviet Union. In his account, the realism of advertising promotes a way of life based on private consumption, rather than social, public achievement.[2]
