Trust Us, We're Experts! blows the lid off so-called "third party" experts, hirelings of the corporate elite's who do transnationals' bidding under the guise of independence. Every time you hear "W" say "I want to make policy based on 'sound science,'" remember the only science he is interested in is the science sponsored by the industries who put him in office. If you want proof, read this book. You should also read
Toxic Sludge is Good for You and
Mad Cow USA by that same pair. While you're at it read anything by
Noam Chomsky,
Marshall McLuhan or
Michel Foucault. Those in power have the ability to frame the debate and as P. T. Barnum said, "nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." Or was that Ronald Reagan? I forget.
