Description
Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational by Michael Shermer presents an overarching theory of conspiracy theories. This well-researched exploration examines who believes them, why, and which ones are real. Trust in conspiracy theories cuts across various demographics, with no clear boundaries between age, income, education level, or political affiliation. From satanic panics to New World Order theories, Shermer delves into the history of these ideas and their persistence in modern society. By understanding the psychology behind conspiracy thinking, readers can gain insight into the complex factors driving this phenomenon.
