This compact, influential work by Noam Chomsky analyzes how propaganda and media control shape public opinion in democratic societies. Chomsky contrasts two models of democracy — one where the public participates actively and another where it is manipulated through media and public relations. Drawing on historical cases from the Creel Commission in World War I to late-20th-century U.S. foreign policy, he shows how mass media and PR industries are used to manufacture consent for war and other elite interests, influenced by ideas of “spectator democracy” and elite power structures.
