Abstract

Demokratie am Ende? Nicht ohne Grund empfinden so viele Menschen ein Unbehagen an der Politik: Es wird über ihre Köpfe hinwegregiert. Mit systematisch inszenierten Kampagnen wird die öffentliche Meinung beeinflusst. Albrecht Müller deckt auf, wer diese Kampagnen steuert und was wir dagegen tun können. An vielen Beispielen weist der Autor nach: Die öffentliche Meinungsbildung und damit auch die politischen Entscheidungen werden von kleinen Zirkeln und sehr großen Interessen bestimmt. Sie betreiben den Ausverkauf unseres Landes - des öffentlichen Vermögens und auch von privaten Unternehmen. Das Gemeinwohl hat abgedankt, das Profitinteresse triumphiert. Mittels strategisch geplanter Kampagnen wird gezielte Desinformation betrieben - auf fast allen Kanälen und so lange, bis alle der Botschaft glauben, die durch vermeintliche Experten in die Köpfe gestreut wird. Dieses Buch ist Aufklärung im besten Sinne - und eine Ermunterung, sich einzumischen: für alle, die sich das Denken nicht verbieten lassen.

Abstract

The social dynamics of alternative facts: why what you believe depends on who you know. Why should we care about having true beliefs? And why do demonstrably false beliefs persist and spread despite bad, even fatal, consequences for the people who hold them? Philosophers of science Cailin OConnor and James Weatherall argue that social factors, rather than individual psychology, are whats essential to understanding the spread and persistence of false beliefs. It might seem that theres an obvious reason that true beliefs matter: false beliefs will hurt you. But if thats right, then why is it (apparently) irrelevant to many people whether they believe true things or not? The Misinformation Age, written for a political era riven by fake news, alternative facts, and disputes over the validity of everything from climate change to the size of inauguration crowds, shows convincingly that what you believe depends on who you know. If social forces explain the persistence of false belief, we must understand how those forces work in order to fight misinformation effectively.
