(P/B) TAKING THE RISK OUT OF DEMOCRACY

Παρουσίαση

In this lucid and compelling account, Alex Carey documents the twentieth-century history of corporate propaganda as practiced by U.S. businesses, and its export to and adoption by other western democracies, chiefly the United Kingdom and Australia. The collection, being published posthumously in the United States, examines how and why the business elite has successfully sold its values and perspectives to the rest of society.
