Bernays argues that the manipulation of public opinion is necessary for a stable and well functioning society. I found just about every paragraph of this book to be disturbing. Especially considering how much power and influence he had during his lifetime - remembered as 'the father of public relations'. Five stars because this is the kind of stuff you aren't taught in history class.'

THE systematic study of mass psychology revealed to students the potentialities of invisible government of society by manipulation of the motives which actuate man in the group. If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it?' Pg47'If you can influence the leaders, either with or without their conscious cooperation, you automaticallyinfluence the group which they sway. But men do not need to be actually gathered together in apublic meeting or in a street riot, to be subject to the influences of mass psychology. Because man is by nature gregarious he feels himself to be member of a herd, even when he is alone in his room with thecurtains drawn. His mind retains the patterns which have been stamped on it by the group influences.'

I give this book no stars because it is a chilling read into the virtual manifesto of who some have labeled as the 'father of modern public relations.' In this book, Bernays hails 'the engineering of consesnt,' as new and glorious process that has been enabled with the advent of new and technological innovation.

With such tools, as Bernays argues, it will be easier and more necessary to augment the minds of the masses in order to seperate the realm of politics and social life.

With such tools, as Bernays argues, it will be easier and more necessary to augment the minds of the masses in order to seperate the realm of politics and social life. The 'engineering of consent,' which is seemingly a spin from Lippman's term 'the manufacture of consent,' is in Bernays eyes, a process that must be utilized by a specialized class of men in order to influence, control, and direct the minds of the common man. I speak in general terms because Bernays speaks in generalized terminology. This book is in agreement with Walter Lippman's 'Public Opinion,' in that control of these processes is crucially reserved to specificed private enterprise in order to keep decision making out of the realm of the public.

In this book as well as Lippman's, there is an underlying belief that 'the common man,' left to his own will is lost and bewildered, and must be controled and regimented in order to make 'proper' and 'correct' decisions. The one thing I do appreciate about this text is the title, at least in the early 20th century they were a bit more honest with their line of business. There's nothing quite like this. An absolutely unapologetic argument in favor of propaganda as the key tool available to the elite who form the 'invisible government' directing the course of modern society. Published in 1928, the book is an attempt to rehabilitate 'propaganda' as a nece3ssary and ultimately benevolent part of a democratic society.

Published in 1928, the book is an attempt to rehabilitate 'propaganda' as a nece3ssary and ultimately benevolent part of a democratic society. While that attempt failed in the narrow sense-it was running an uphill battle in the wake of WW I with Hitler and Stalin just down the road-Bernays is damn near prophetic in his vision of Public Relations as the central organizing principle of every sphere of modern life: business, politics, education, art.What's stunning is how absolutely open Bernays is about his vision. Today, those who hold to it and run with it cloak it in all kinds of evasions (an approach Bernays would certaintly understand). Almost everything I can't stand about modern American life is the result of his ideas being put into practice. It's sort of like picking up your opponent's playbook after leaving the locker room following a 73-0 loss.I'm sticking with the one star rating-I hate everything about the vision Bernays asserts-but I'll add the footnote that anyone interested in the world we're living in should probably read it.The introduction by Mark Crispin Miller is excellent. You can get most of what's in the book by reading it, but that would be like settling for the abstract of a Stephen King novel. The horror's in the unfolding.

'THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.' We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. They govern us by their qualities of natural leadership, their ability to supply needed ideas and 'THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.

They govern us by their qualities of natural leadership, their ability to supply needed ideas and by their key position in the social structure.' .'

No serious sociologist any longer believes that the voice of the people expresses any divine or specially wise and lofty idea. The voice of the people expresses the mind of the people, and that mind is made up for it by the group leaders in whom it believes and by those persons who understand the manipulation of public opinion. It is composed of inherited prejudices and symbols and cliches and verbal formulas supplied to them by the leaders.' Fortunately, the sincere and gifted politician is able, by the instrument of propaganda, to mold and form the will of the people.' This book was originally published in 1928, with a new edition in 2005 with an added introduction by Mark Crispin Miller, professor of media studies at NYU, known for his writing on American media and his activism on behalf of democratic media reform.

It's quite possibly the best part of this book, which gives the basic tenants of the positive and negative aspects of propaganda since its first use in World War I. These basic tenants boil down to the disturbing but not unknown means by which 'public relations' experts shape and manipulate public opinion in the interests of government and corporations. Author Edward Bernays pioneered the 'scientific' technique (my quotes) of what he called the engineering of consent, and what the back-cover blurb terms his 'prescient vision for regimenting the collective mind.'

It's a slim book, 168 pages in paperback. The major points are made, and remade, in the first 95 pages. The remaining 73 pages can be rapidly skimmed. But those first 95 pages are essential reading for all of us who, as the publisher states, 'wish to understand how power is used by the ruling elite of our society.' Especially at this time in our country's history when greed is ruling our economy and craziness is threatening to take over our government. A famous work, wherein Mr.

However, still worth reading. Edward Bernays' book Propaganda is about public relations (PR). Bernays invented PR, but in this book it is called by a more honest name: 'propaganda'. In the old days, propaganda just meant what modern-day PR means: advocating on behalf of an organization (or government or business) and explaining and justifying the institution to the public.Here are some choice quotes from Bernays' book: The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an Edward Bernays' book Propaganda is about public relations (PR).

A man may believe that he buys a motor car because, after careful study of the technical features of all makes on the market, he has concluded that this is the best. He is almost certainly fooling himself. Bernays is popularly known (sometimes in competition with Ivy Lee) as the 'father of public relations,' and PROPAGANDA is a large part of why.

It's a wholly enthusiastic and spirited call for business leaders and politicians of the 1920s to shape the mind (singular, not plural) of the masses. I suspect that it's the sheer shameslessness of Bernays's attitude toward his subject that is the reason contemporary critics like Mark Crispin Miller, Neil Postman, and Stewart Ewen keep discussing him.

I suspect that it's the sheer shameslessness of Bernays's attitude toward his subject that is the reason contemporary critics like Mark Crispin Miller, Neil Postman, and Stewart Ewen keep discussing him. (Not to mention that he was Sigmund Freud's nephew and only died in 95 at 104!). The first sentence says it all: 'The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society.' Just how we reconcile 'manipulation' with 'democracy' isn't something Bernays is particularly worried about-for him, business leaders are exemplums of Social Darwinism who have risen to the top because they're best suited to save society from the messiness of mob mentality. Bernays was personally something of a comic figure-a Groucho-esque character-which is why much of the vituperation leveled at his Rovian heirs escapes him.

Still, PROPAGANDA is a pretty chilling reminder that some people genuinely do believe that consent MUST be engineered for America and democracy to exist. Strangely enough, those folks often nominate themselves to be the engineers. Best read with a dollop of Walter Lippmann as an antidote.PS. Miller's intro to the 05 edition offers an excellent history of the word 'propaganda.' Especially interesting is how the pejorative connotations of it didn't become its dominant meaning until the post-WWI era.

Biohazard 1.5 psx. You'll hardly find anything new in this book. Well, the author's opinion may surprising to a certain extent. He's one of the fathers of PR (a term he used instead of propaganda, because the latter word had acquired some negative connotations after the War) and he seems steel confident that propaganda is an absolutely necessary tool in a democratic society.

He's one of the fathers of PR (a term he used instead of propaganda, because the latter word had acquired some negative connotations after the War) and he seems steel confident that propaganda is an absolutely necessary tool in a democratic society. His honesty and apparent naiveness are what make the book worth reading. He shows how propaganda is and must be used in business, politics, education, arts and so on. It's true that at times the purposes for which he recommends propaganda are good ones, but he is too unconcerned with the risk and dangers of propaganda.

He simply states that there are no guarantees against its misuse. An that's all. He, one of those who revolutioned propaganda, simply says that 'yes, it may be abused and misused' and that's all. No tools for controlling it, no methods of fighting it, just a tiny, tiny code of ethics which is hardly convincing. His naivety may easily be explained by the fact that this book is itself a form of propaganda, it's propagandising propaganda and trying to make it more acceptable to the public opinion. In other words, the man is just advertising his profession.

He may not fool a modern reader, but in 1928 he may have well succeeded. 'The invisible, intertwining structure of groupings and associations is the mechanism by which democracy has organised it's group mind and simplified it's mass thinking'Bernays lays out a horrific, pseudomoralistic defense of propaganda as a social and economic influence on culture and society. Whilst maintaining a facade of egalitarianism and 'woke' capitalism, Bernays' ideas are fascistic and authoritarian, with Bernays supporting the notion of a power elite controlling and moulding the minds 'The invisible, intertwining structure of groupings and associations is the mechanism by which democracy has organised it's group mind and simplified it's mass thinking'Bernays lays out a horrific, pseudomoralistic defense of propaganda as a social and economic influence on culture and society.

In a modern mass democracy, the elite cannot force the serfs to accept unpopular or unproven ideas.

Therefore, the elite has the problem of governing the rabble in a mass democracy.So, the elite promotes and shapes information to influence the desires of the masses - thereby garnering the consent of the governed.

This was one of the first books to articulate this concept (1928). 'Propaganda will never die out. Intelligent men must realise that propaganda is the modern instrument by which they can fight for productive ends and help to bring order out of chaos.'

Propaganda is a loaded term. And not many associations we have with it today are positive - it makes us think of politicians trying to get your vote, companies trying to get your purchase. But in Propaganda, Edward L.

Bernays examines the origins and functions of a concept that he sees as the fundamental part of 'Propaganda will never die out.

Bernays examines the origins and functions of a concept that he sees as the fundamental part of basically any society there is. It's an examination of how propaganda shapes public opinions and how it influences politics, business, art and science.It's worth mentioning that Edward L.

Bernays himself is a rather interesting figure as well. The nephew of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud is today known as the Father of Public Relations and is the reason why we consider bacon today an All-American Breakfast or why it became acceptable (or even fashionable) for women to smoke in public.Propaganda fits rather nicely into his background. He argues that every democracy works on basis of common agreement to let an invisible government narrow choices down for us when it comes to making decisions of what to consume, invest in or even approve of.'

We accept a standardised code of social conduct to which we conform most of the time.' A lot of it might seem like common knowledge today, but it's astonishing when you think about the fact that this has been written in 1928 - almost a century ago! And still it is relevant, when we look at how social media influences what teenagers consider beautiful, when we think of how runway trends shape the latest fashion trends or even how adverts convince us of the superiority of a product.It's a short, but fascinating and somehow even scary read. We are being lured into having opinions and even being aware of it doesn't necessarily 'free' you from the influences that others have on you. Food for thought.

Bernays came to my attention through Adam Curtis' fascinating documentary. I wanted to learn more, so I picked up this book.

As modern humans, we like to think our status/dignity derives from the ability to make choices — to find oneself, or shape one's own destiny and identity. But I have to admit: I'm haunted by the view of Nietzsche, who said the 'dignity of man' is 'slavery hiding from itself.' Bernays talks about old-fashioned, turn-of-the-century advertising: 'YOU (perhaps with a finger pointing at the reader) buy O'Leary's rubber heels — NOW.' The idea was to break down sales resistance through hectoring and emphasis.

Bernays' new propaganda, on the other hand, sets up 'psychological and emotional currents' which move the customer to buy while thinking it's 'his own idea.' It's deep and sinister stuff, informed by Freud (who was Bernays' uncle) and the unconscious mind. It recognizes that 'men are very largely actuated by motives which they conceal from themselves.' A great illustration (not touched on in this book) is Bernays' campaign to encourage women to smoke cigarettes. In 1929 he paid women to march in the Easter Sunday parade flaunting their cigarette smoking as a symbol of women's liberation. The campaign was very effective, with revivals over many decades like 'You've come a long way, baby.'

But step back, and refocus. Women are being manipulated into lives of slavery to tobacco by invisible wirepullers (as Bernays call people like himself).

Yet at the same time, they are convinced they are making this choice entirely of their own accord. Expressing their self, and their freedom, and their identity.

As Orwell put it: 'Freedom is Slavery.' One can't help but wonder: Is the modern 'self' entirely a manufactured product?

Once you see it, you see it everywhere. It's like the signature idea of the world in the 21st century. I didn`t believe Propiganda was real till I read this easy to read Book on Controling human beings minds Withouth their Knowledge.

This book is the most powerful book on mind control of the masses ever allowed to be seen by the public. It is a tool all governments and Cororations aspire to.

A well documented look into the history of propaganda and its application in society. It is very riveting read that raises so many questions about the forces what we think, eat, and wear today. The process of how propaganda influences public opinion was clearly explain well by Bernays.

I was a bit surprise to find out propaganda's benign origins. Which just shows that all good ideas start off harmless enough but ultimately it is our dark nature that corrupts them.

I think it is definitely worth the read. If you want to begin to understand the world for yourself you have to see how others have inculcated their ideas into you through mass media and other forms of cultural and political rohipnol. It's important to understand your own psychic vulnerability and to realize how much energy is put towards keeping your mind shuttered. As long as you're stuck in the pre-manufactured paradigms reality will be determined by those who don't have your best interests at heart.

Reading books like this is a good start towards understanding how great masses of people continue to be pawns and sheep. Much of the book is a waste of space but it's a short read and a few gems make it worth your time. It almost seems like the confession of a man who feels guilty but is still justifying himself.Karl Rove said, 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality.

And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors. And you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.' This book is a classic for a writer who basically innovated the craft of advertisement as we know it today.

Being Freud's nephew, he took his uncle's teachings of human psychology to come up with these fresh ideas, hence it's pretty interesting to see the underlying linkage between the teachings of the two men.As any other classic, you don't expect something you're not already familiar with, after all the art of propaganda has advanced a lot in unfathomable ways at the moment but it's nice to This book is a classic for a writer who basically innovated the craft of advertisement as we know it today.

Also it is interesting to see his persistence of turning this into a respectable science with a noble cause. Something that's very far away from the truth of propaganda or at least from the ends that such techniques are implemented nowadays to reach.As a conclusion, I liked Bernays an awful lot more than his uncle for being more practical and less arrogant. It is amazing how relevant this book still is, despite being published in 1928. It’s more about public relations, government, and marketing than it is about selling. I read it off an old, terrible, scanned PDF, and was thrilled to see it finally reprinted for modern consumption.

Bernays depicts public society as a dangerous, irrational collective that requires manipulation in order to function in a democratic manner over the long term. It’s a little Machiavellian, kind of dystopian, and very psychoanalytical (he was the nephew of Freud, after all), but it is a great read.

I dunno about this. On one hand, yes propaganda has proved to be extremely effective in molding public opinion and purchasing patterns. On the other it only works in very specific scenarios and is quite limited in what can be accomplished. The book is very outdated. Nowadays we get exposed to propaganda and counter propaganda constantly. At this point, a good propaganda campaign is something that is necessary. Without it, any idea will be crushed by their opponents propaganda.

At this point, a good propaganda campaign is something that is necessary. Without it, any idea will be crushed by their opponents propaganda. I would say read the first 3 or 4 chapters, the rest just isn't relevant except for people who are really interested in this subject. “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.

This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons.who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”—.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess of the public treasury. From that time on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the results that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years.

These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back again to bondage.”. 'I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men with a favourable presumption that they did no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way, against the holders of power, increasing as the power increases.

Historic responsibility has to make up for the want of legal responsibility. Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or certainty of corruption by full authority. There is no worse heresy than the fact that the office sanctifies the holder of it.'
