Propaganda
Edward Bernays
"Propaganda" incorporates psychological manipulation and social sciences to examine ways of manipulating masses of people. Bernays believed that increasing complexities of civilization created a need for invisible government, and the technical means through propaganda were the most effective way that public opinion and mass consent could be engineered artificially. As such, it led Bernays to believe that Democracy could be administered by an intelligent minority who were strategically placed to regiment and guide the masses. - Summary by progressingamerica (3 hr 51 min)

Reviews
Much different than I expected
A LibriVox Listener
My hobbies are politics and history. I almost didn’t listen to the story when it first started, but I found it very very interesting and recommended for every US citizen. They help understand how they are controlled by the government.
