Short description of an American author's book (Herbert Schiller: The Corporate Takeover of Public Expression) discussing the consequences of information becoming a commodity and its ownership by certain interest groups.

The authors make an attempt to explain the current processes from he point of view of formation theory. Examining the possibilities of a post-capitalist society (and in this regard with optimism) they try to explain at least in connection with certain issues why was it necessary – and in contrast to the general public notion how and why did it come organically from East Europe's social conditions – that the foundations of a society denying capitalism were laid down.
