In this unflinching exploration of corruption in America, Chayes exposes how corruption has thrived within our borders - from the titans of America's Gilded Age (Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, J.P.

Misinformation, disinformation, and fake news abound, and it’s increasingly difficult to know what’s true. We are fairly well equipped to spot the sort of old-school bullshit that is based in fancy rhetoric and weasel words, but most of us don’t feel qualified to challenge the avalanche of new-school bullshit presented in the language of math, science, or statistics. In Calling Bullshit, Professors Carl Bergstrom and Jevin West give us a set of powerful tools to cut through the most intimidating data.

La manipulación de masas es un fenómeno que el poder político ha utilizado a lo largo de la historia. Nuestros tiempos no iban a ser una excepción, y la televisión, unida al fenómeno de las redes sociales y las masas de acoso, han conformado un tridente mortífero contra la verdad.
