What is emotional intelligence? Does it help us make better, more rational decisions? Can we resist sales tactics and do the math, or do we jump in on emotional trends? Those are some of the things we will discuss here. Other things that will rise to the surface are things like the mind of a psychopath, sinister tactics governments use to spread propaganda through the news, and how we can detect lies and manipulation faster.

We are supposed to have more information at our disposal now than at any time in history. So why, in a world of rising sea levels, populist leaders, resurgent fascism, and a global pandemic, do so many people believe bizarre and untrue things about the world we live in? In After the Fact?, Marcus Gilroy-Ware shows us what really created the conditions for mis- and disinformation, from fake news and conspiracy theories, to bullshit journalism and the resurgence of the far-right, and why liberal newspaper columnists and centrist politicians are unable to turn back this tide.

America is in a new Cold War with Russia even more dangerous than the one the world barely survived in the 20th century. All of this is exacerbated by Washington’s war-like demonizing of the Kremlin leadership and by Russiagate’s unprecedented allegations. US mainstream media accounts are highly selective and seriously misleading. American “disinformation”, not only Russian, is a growing peril.

The Democratic Party has changed beyond recognition. Once the party of anti-communism and tax-cutting under President Kennedy, it is now dominated by a surging socialist movement and led by a presidential candidate who vows to “transform” America. In Countdown to Socialism, Congressman Devin Nunes exposes the nexus between the Democratic Party, the mainstream media, and the social media corporations. These three entities cooperate to blast out the Democrats’ message and downplay their extremism while suppressing and censoring conservative points of view.

Deutschland ist im Kampfmodus. Statt anständig zu streiten, werden diejenigen verunglimpft, die anderer Meinung sind - wahlweise als "links-grün Versiffte", als "Volksverräter", als "Nazis" und "Rassisten" oder auch schlicht als "alte weiße Männer". Und Probleme werden zunehmend im Zustand der hysterischen Hyperventilation diskutiert. Gabriele Krone-Schmalz wirft in ihrem neuen Buch einen besorgten Blick auf unser zerstrittenes Land und plädiert für mehr Respekt gegenüber Andersdenkenden. Die Welt steht vor großen Herausforderungen. Stoff genug für erregte Debatten.

Les fake news no són un fenomen nou: els governs, els partits polítics, els mitjans de comunicació i les grans corporacions --o els monopolis d'informació equivalents en cada època-- sempre n'han fet ús interessat. No és sospitós, doncs, que les polítiques i les reformes normatives que s'estan proposant per combatre-les criminalitzin les noves tecnologies i, en canvi, no facin el mateix amb els que s'han dedicat a produir notícies falses des de sempre?

Las fake news no son un fenómeno nuevo: los gobiernos, los partidos políticos, los medios de comunicación y las grandes corporaciones - o los monopolios de información equivalentes en cada época - han hecho siempre un uso de ellas. FakeYou expone investigaciones que desmontan los mitos en los que se respalda la ola de legislaciones liberticidas que sufrimos en la actualidad. Este libro se plantea como una herramienta de defensa contra los recortes de las libertades fundamentales y un arma contra las nuevas formas de manipulación, mentira, y falsificación.

Much has been written on the theory of history by philosophers and historiologists, but nothing so concise and understandable as Liddell Hart’s Why Don’t We Learn from History; the kind of title that makes one wonder and consider. And consider we certainly should in an era when so much bad history and propaganda is being put before us from unknown sources by unknown authors.

In this daring exposé, Don Blankenship reveals how far the government will go to keep its dirty secrets, even if it means disparaging deceased miners and sending innocent Americans to prison. Using government documents, witness testimony, and science, Blankenship pieces together the Obama-Biden administration’s responsibility for the explosion. Blankenship explains how the government used prevarication, lies, and document destruction to bury the truth.

It seeks to explain this perfect storm of money, technology, and partisanship that has created two entirely separate news spheres: a small, enclosed circle for the right wing and a sprawling expanse for everyone else. This leads to two sets of facts, two narratives, and two loudly divergent political sides with extraordinary anger all around. Based on extensive interviews with leading media figures and politicos, this book traces the development of the media machine, giving suggestions on how to restore our national dialogue while defending our right to disagree agreeably.

Americans are losing touch with reality. On virtually every issue, from climate change to immigration, tens of millions of Americans have opinions and beliefs wildly at odds with fact, rendering them unable to think sensibly about politics. In How America Lost Its Mind, Thomas E. Patterson explains the rise of a world of “alternative facts” and the slow motion cultural and political calamity unfolding around us.

Donald J. Trump did not migrate from the pit of hell in the year 2016 to run for president of the United States of America. He was already a staple diet of the people of this morally decadent society in which he spewed hatred and lies, as a matter of course. This unmitigated liar was already known for his bigotry and misogynistic attitude which he publicly displayed with theatrical flair. His character flaws were like a flashing neon sign on Times Square.

Tras el derrumbe de la utopía neoliberal, el gran consenso ideológico de nuestro tiempo es la capacidad de las tecnologías de la comunicación para inducir dinámicas sociales positivas. La economía del conocimiento se considera unánimemente como la solución al deterioro especulativo de los mercados; las redes sociales son el remedio a la fragilidad de nuestras vidas nómadas y globalizadas; la ciberpolítica aspira a regenerar nuestras democracias exhaustas.

Sociofobia cuestiona este dogma ciberfetichista.

"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." Did you know that these 26 words are responsible for much of America's multibillion-dollar online industry? What we can and cannot write, say, and do online is based on just one law - a law that protects online services from lawsuits based on user content. Jeff Kosseff exposes the workings of section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which has lived mostly in the shadows since its enshrinement in 1996.

The Three Languages of Politics is a profoundly illuminating exploration of communication in America’s political landscape. Progressives, conservatives, and libertarians are like tribes speaking different languages. This is an accessible, precise, and insightful guide to lowering the barriers coarsening our politics. This is not a book about one ideology over another. Instead, it is a book about how we communicate issues and ideologies and how language intended to persuade instead divides.

Véritable petit guide pratique écrit en 1928 par le neveu américain de Sigmund Freud, ce livre expose cyniquement et sans détour les grands principes de la manipulation mentale de masse ou de ce que Bernays appelait la "fabrique du consentement". Comment imposer une nouvelle marque de lessive ? Comment faire élire un président ? Dans la logique des "démocraties de marché", ces questions se confondent. Bernays assume pleinement ce constat : les choix des masses étant déterminants, ceux qui parviendront à les influencer détiendront réellement le pouvoir.

The labour leader Eugene V. Debs (1855-1926) was sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment for sedition after giving this speech on June 16, 1918 in Canton, Ohio. The speech denounced the First World War and the military draft.

In today’s chaotic world, where the multiplication of information sources creates competing narratives, credibility is the key to winning the war of ideas. This is the reason why governments and corporations resort to astroturfing - creation of ostensibly grassroots movements set up to advance political agendas and commercial campaigns. The democratization of information and polarization of politics offer a perfect storm.

Jack Foster combines modern political history with indignant polemic in this impassioned account of the failed 2014 Scottish independence referendum. In an attempt to understand the reasons for that defeat, Catch-2014 takes on some uncomfortable truths and attempts to slay a few sacred cows in the process. From media manipulation to corporate intervention, party politics to poor strategy, Foster examines the failures at the very heart of “Yes” Scotland, as well as how the Unionists managed successfully - against all the odds - to capture the campaign narrative.
