These films promise dramatic change, but they too often deliver more of the same. Although proponents maintain the illusion that the militant enforcement of free-market economics will resolve racism, climate change, and imperialism, their magical thinking actually fuels the crises. Magical Thinking, Fantastic Film, and the Illusions of Neo-liberalism explores the ways in which the visual economies of Hollywood fantasy compliment this particular political economy. 650 0 $a Fantasy films $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Fantasy in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Neoliberalism. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170304032418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=961D5BAAE9E711E69A6025A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
