商品描述
This book provides a comprehensive overview of 'societal deception' - how and why people are deceived and led to believe fake news. Coherently blending critical political economy and sociology, the author provocatively examines how corporations, political parties, the media, think tanks and assorted 'influencers' seek to manipulate public opinion to achieve their goals. This book spans an array of contemporary topics and issues not normally tackled by a single writer - the media, genetic engineering, fast food, environmental pollution, climate change, economic inequality, political manipulations, sports, and religion. While critical in subject matter, and replete with easily accessible and reliable sources, this book is highly readable and entertaining for the general as well as academic audience interested in current global issues.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了對「社會欺騙」的全面概述——人們是如何以及為什麼被欺騙，並被引導相信假新聞。作者將批判性的政治經濟學與社會學巧妙地結合，挑釁性地檢視企業、政黨、媒體、智庫以及各種「影響者」如何試圖操控公眾輿論以達成他們的目標。這本書涵蓋了一系列當代主題和問題，這些主題通常不會由單一作者處理——媒體、基因工程、快餐、環境污染、氣候變遷、經濟不平等、政治操控、體育和宗教。雖然主題具有批判性，並且充滿了易於獲取且可靠的來源，但這本書對於對當前全球議題感興趣的一般讀者和學術觀眾來說，都是非常易讀且娛樂性十足的。
