Since we're in the book sub, A Brief History of Neoliberalism by David Harvey is an excellent and relatively short read on this subject.

Tons of literature was funded and directed by the CIA beginning in the early 1950s.
The CIA were some of the principal orchestrators of the entire Iowa Writers Workshop program that steered literature away from material concepts and into a more postmodern framework where objectivity was not valued and individualistic feelings were centered.
