Propaganda and Control of the Public Mind

First published in 2001, Propaganda and Control of the Public Mind constitutes a lecture given at The Harvard Trade Union Program, Cambridge, Massachusetts on February 7, 1997, and is the perfect complement to Chomsky's major works of media study such as Manufacturing Consent and Necessary llusions. This lecture, and the question and-answer session that follows, provide and introduction to (and synthesis of) Chomsky's key thinking on the media and propaganda, and their pivotal role in the relentless class struggle being waged daily. Recorded live at The Harvard Trade Union Program, Cambridge, Massachusetts on February 7, 1997
