This book, part of the Marxism and Culture series, offers a radical and comprehensive analysis of how the logic of cultural capitalism has evolved over time.

Unlike mainstream economics, which views creative expression as a means for wealth creation, author Karl Marx recognized that capital is fundamentally antithetical to the arts due to its inability to fully control the process of creativity. However, the advent of mass media changed everything. "From Printing to Streaming" explores the major issues in Marxist theory surrounding art and capitalism and provides insights into how printing, photography, sound recording, newsprint, advertising, film, and broadcasting have transformed over the years.
