From the abstract: "This paper examines the nature of propaganda and its use by corporations, particularly in the US, over a period of nearly 100 years. It emphasises the invisibility of much of this activity and propaganda's importance for shaping acquiescence in corporate hegemony. The role played by corporate propaganda in the development of different forms of capitalism is addressed. The inculcation of accounting and finance students with values that serve corporate interests is considered: in this context propaganda is inferred in both the longstanding misrepresentation of Adam Smith, and the sustained illusion of competitive 'free markets'."
