Contraportada:

FEAR It’s nothing new?the peddling of paranoia by governments and corporations to influence and control a society. But the extent of its use in America today?and the mounting, long-term impact on American freedoms and democracy?is unprecedented and chilling. This bracing exposé by best-selling historian Christopher Catherwood and economist Joseph DiVanna looks at the ways in which fear is put to use by the American government and large corporations to shape public policy and control the media. The authors look at how this fear eventually causes social decay, lost jobs, and further useless fearmongering, and they propose several ways for the average American to break this cause-and-effect cycle, to become a more engaged citizen, and to take real steps toward preventing future calamities.
