The business of children's television

This dissertation examines the distribution of resources and the integration of the social, political and economic forces that came together to encourage the increasingly close relationship between the toy and television industries. Applying the tenets of political economy, it will demonstrate that the conditions that led to children's programming were based on economic expedience rather than intellectual challenge.
