How Propaganda Became Public Relations - Foucault and the Corporate Government of the Public

Summary

This book pulls back the curtain on propaganda: how it was born, how it works, and how it has masked the bulk of its operations by rebranding itself as public relations. It uses archival materials and wide variety of sources—Foucault’s work on governmentality, political economy, liberalism, mass psychology, and history.
