La cultura y los medios de comunicación bajo la dinámica de la “mano invisible" del mercado

Abstract

The process of modernization experimented in México since 1982, and in particular the under- takings to negotiate the trade agreement with the United States and Canada, are producing deep changes in the economic, political, social, agricultural, technological, intellectual and legal structures in our country. These, in tum, are modifying Systems of life, organizational, labor, education, production, competition, prevailing among the population. Such changes provoke an impact not only on the economic and political base of Mexican society, but above all on the cultural and information structure. Under the situation of increasing communicative and spiritual inequality provoked by the market, it seems that the Mexican State should create conditions for another cultural equilibrium with the help of a new policy of social communication for development, non-existent today and urgently needed if we are to co-exist as a nation.
