Examining the dynamics of democratic governance, this critical work delves into the irrational social perceptions that shape individual behaviors and hinder societal cohesion. It highlights cognitive limitations in understanding socio-political realities, suggesting that people rely on evolving stereotypes. The text argues that the rise of propaganda and the complexity of political knowledge challenge traditional democracy. Notably, it introduces the concept of "the manufacture of consent," later referenced by Chomsky and Herman, establishing its significance in media studies, political science, and social psychology.
