Summary/Abstract: In this study I will try to put forward the views of the social teorists and critics who consider "postmodern culture" (Jameson) as deeply manipulative. The fundamental patterns of the system of the ideology preach to the spred of the values of consumerism, individualism and hedonism (Fromm). As the study shows, the media play a key role in spreading these values (Chomsky). The media became the main "ideological apparatus" (Althusser) and the business world, the world of culture and politics is controlled by these media. The study is based on the authors book Matrix of Capitalism: Is the Revolution Coming?
