This book examines the dangerous prospects we face as the societies built upon these myths begin to fragment and crumble. In an open and accessible style, this book argues that much of the confusion that currently plagues the West is due to the fact that its social, economic and political systems are saturated by a little understood and rarely acknowledged system of propaganda. This book seeks to clear away this propagandistic façade in order to reveal where power really lies in Western societies, examining how this power functions and how it has corrupted the ideals of democracy, freedom and capitalism to suit its own ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume will be of value to those interested in modern history and social and political history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Sherratt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032603933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032603933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Simon Sherratt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153428263167,"sku":"9781032603933","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ac7a1e8-2898-4610-a366-72f22cc655d5.jpg?v=1770783412","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/propaganda-and-power-in-the-simon-sherratt-9781032603933","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
