xx, 353 p. ; 22 cm Our democracy today is fraught with political campaigns, lobbyists, liberal media, and Fox News commentators, all using language to influence the way we think and reason about public issues. Even so, many of us believe that propaganda and manipulation aren't problems for us--not in the way they were for the totalitarian societies of the mid-twentieth century. In How Propaganda Works, Jason Stanley demonstrates that more attention needs to be paid. He examines how propaganda operates subtly, how it undermines democracy--particularly the ideals of democratic deliberation and equality--and how it has damaged democracies of the past. Propaganda in the history of political thought -- Propaganda defined -- Propaganda in liberal democracy -- Language as a mechanism of control -- Ideology -- Political ideologies -- The ideology of elites: a case study.
