The Politics of Misinformation

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the interplay between social and economic power, the book explores how political discourse often relies on vague and misleading imagery, obscuring undemocratic trends. It argues that public discussions of democracy tend to be populistic and emotional, prioritizing images of progress over addressing structural inequalities. This approach limits critical engagement and understanding among the public, leaving conventional problem definitions and solutions unchallenged in the realm of democratic politics.
