It's nothing new--the peddling of paranoia by governments and corporations to influence and control a society. But the extent of that use in America today--and the mounting, long-term impact on American freedom and democracy--is unprecedented and chilling.
This bracing expose by bestselling historian Christopher Catherwood and economist Joseph DiVanna looks at the ways in which fear is put to use by the American government and large corporations to shape public policy and control the media. The authors look at how this fear eventually causes social decay, lost jobs, and further useless fear-mongering, and they propose several ways for the average American to break this cause-and-effect cycle, to become a more engaged citizen, and to take real steps toward preventing future calamities.
This is an important new work that every American should read, no matter his or her party affiliation, religion, or age.
