The Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard

Originally published in 1957 and now back in print to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, this book is a pioneering work that reveals how advertisers use psychological methods to tap into our unconscious desires.

Through analysis of products, political campaigns, and television programs of the 1950s, Packard shows how the insidious manipulation practices that have come to dominate today's corporate-driven world began. This thought-provoking book has sold over one million copies and forever changed the way we look at the world of advertising.
