ABSTRACT
The image of Google has effectively masked the economic, political, and cultural power that the corporation holds in the business of information. An analysis of Google's business does show that it has used strategies such as diversification and globalization that most corporations do. People may reason that Google's non-business-oriented mottos are a faade that the company builds to hide its economic motives. However, what may be more likely is that the founders, board members, executives, and workers do truly believe that Google is here for the greater good rather than greater profits, that Google is interested in making the world better rather than making money, and it just accidentally becomes rich. This ideology is perhaps the most dangerous of all of capitalist ideology because it refuses to acknowledge the political economic system to which Google belongs and in which Google thrives.
