Propaganda (1928): Part 2
In this second episode of the Mic Check Radio Book Club series we continue with the audio book of Propaganda by Edward L Burnays,
published in 1928. Noam Chomsky has called this book "the main manual
of the public relations industry". It may be 87 years old, but the
ideas and concepts are still used (and successful) today. This book
explores the psychology of manipulating the masses in order to influence
consumerism, politics, social change and gender dynamics. On this
episode we will hear Chapter 3: The New Propagandists and Chapter 4: The Psychology of Public Relations. [Click to Listen]
