Synopsis
"How right-wing extremism has led to the fall of critical thinking and rise of reactionary politics—and what we can do about it to save our democracy Known for providing incisive progressive political analysis without being dogmatic, popular radio and podcast host David Pakman delves into the vicious cycle of reactionary political ideology. It's no secret how the right-wing has benefited and capitalized off disinformation and polarization of US politics. Critical thinking and media literacy are on a rapid decline, and our republic is unable to agree upon a shared set of facts. Pakman challenges the right-wing head-on and encourages readers to understand how the status quo became the status quo. Deeply researched and accessibly written, readers will learn: • The underlying issues with political discourse in America today. • How these issues have led to the intellectual race to the bottom. • Practical ways to improve discourse through improving critical thinking, media literacy, and public education. • Examples from real-world debates and discussions to better understand the impact of these issues on our democracy and why leftism is the best path forward. The Echo Machine is not just a critique nor an instruction manual, but an invitation to think, question, and understand. Pakman equips readers with the knowledge to be inspired to break out of our toxic political echo chamber and ultimately save our democracy."
