{"product_id":"soft-power-hard-impact-tarun-mujalde-9798250863704","title":"Soft Power Hard Impact","description":"\u003cbr\u003eIn an age of endless screens and viral stories, the most powerful battles aren't fought with weapons-they're fought with ideas. Soft power hard Impact exposes the quiet, sophisticated machinery of soft power: how governments, corporations, and ideologues use movies, music, news, literature, algorithms, advertising, and cultural institutions to shape what billions believe, desire, and accept as normal-without anyone noticing. From Hollywood's postwar myth-making and Soviet propaganda art to China's global Confucius Institutes, Bollywood's nationalist blockbusters, TikTok's dopamine-driven feeds, and corporate campaigns that turn justice into branding, this book reveals the hidden ways culture becomes a tool of control. Blending sharp political analysis, deep philosophical insight (from Plato to Foucault to Baudrillard), real-world examples, and unflinching speculation about the digital and virtual futures ahead, this book is both a diagnosis of our manipulated present and a practical wake-up call. You are not just consuming stories.\u003cbr\u003eYou are being shaped by them. The question is no longer whether influence is at work.\u003cbr\u003eIt's whether you will stay asleep inside the web-or begin to see the threads, question the weavers, and start writing your own. Awareness is the hardest power of all. A timely, accessible, and unflinching guide to understanding-and resisting-the invisible forces that govern modern perception. Perfect for readers of political theory, media studies, cultural criticism, and anyone who wants to stay awake in an increasingly curated world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tarun Mujalde\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798250863704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Tarun Mujalde","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997531091199,"sku":"9798250863704","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soft-power-hard-impact-tarun-mujalde-9798250863704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
