Beskrivning
A foundational text on media, propaganda and democracy.First published in 1988 and still startlingly relevant, Manufacturing Consent lays bare the economic and political forces that influence mass media. In this seminal work, linguist Noam Chomsky and economist Edward Herman argue that the press serves powerful interests, not public truth - subtly filtering stories through ownership, advertising and ideology.Clear, uncompromising and deeply researched, it remains an essential guide for anyone who wants to understand how information becomes persuasion in modern society. Perfect for readers of The Shock Doctrine and On Tyranny, this is a critical framework for decoding today’s news environment.

Recensioner i media

"Chomsky ranks with Marx, Shakespeare, and the Bible as one of the ten most quoted sources in the humanities-and is the only writer among them still alive." Guardian "Chomsky is arguably the most important intellectual alive." New York Times "Noam Chomsky is one of the most significant challengers of unjust power and delusions; he goes against every assumption about American altruism and humanitarianism." -- Edward Said "Not to have read [Chomsky] is to court genuine ignorance." Nation "A rebel without a pause." -- Bono
