Is the present day ruling class using social and financial economics as well as media and education to control

Question

I left this an open question for a reason

Answer 1

Absolutely.  The interesting extension of the logic is that labor and working class conform to the influences of media to perpetuate the arrangement.  Successive generations of "Factory Model" education serves the end of ruling and leadership class to maintain a subservient order.

Survival and prosperity of the ruling class relies heavily upon the innovations of information and media.  Those who work least enjoy more than those who provide and perform the labor.

``I know the secret of making the average American believe anything I want him to. Just let me control television.... You put something on the television and it becomes reality. If the world outside the TV set contradicts the images, people start trying to change the world to make it like the TV set images....''

--Hal Becker, media ``expert'' and management consultant, the Futures Group, in an interview in 1981 [1]

Answer 4

HAHA… awesome….… To really answer the question, you rule yourself in economics. OR the masses rule you, whatever way you want to look at it.

You don’t need to drink soda, go out to dinner. You can buy a scooter if you hate the oil prices in stead of drive your car…..those R luxury goods and America eats them up including me. Most people think they cant live with out them but they can just don’t chose to.



---The news actually reflects demand if you think about it, the news wants you to watch so they show the things people will tune in for. Boy stuck in a well stuff, things I don’t think people should care about BUT… demand/supply. very few watch c-span but they will show you the boring accountant procedures that R very important but people dont care to hear!

Just as we feed people on a grand scale, we educate them too. Causing the no child left behind act… forcing schools to teach a certain way that WE believe is fit to make people for this country needs. CONTROL yes.. but that’s what the people wanted is it not? First thing on a lot of peoples minds when they vote is education … I think it’s all a joke… people r dumb in there wishes, don’t understand what there doing…. sry

Now the financial part… you might be right in a way. The fed has almost an iron fist, they will slam you, me, any business man in the mix with out regards… think supreme court style, they answer to no one..... They will do things today that will suck but they regard as necessary for the future. You may not like it… It may make you lose money… hell…. it might never work for you but they don’t care about you, they care about the general good of the NATIONS financial system.

Its crazy out there! Fun too! Our job is to strive to achieve……something?
