They twist the truth, exaggerate and spin. But blatant lying has now become a standard part of political discourse, led by Donald Trump and carried on by Boris Johnson and Scott Morrison. Combine this with an all-out assault on the truth in public debate along with the biggest communications revolution since the printing press, and you have a disaster in real time: a sea of fake news, hyper-partisanship and polarisation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNo society or democracy can function without trust, and the consequences of this profound shift are clear. The first step to a remedy is in understanding both the liars and the environments in which they lie.\u003cb\u003e Lies and Falsehoods\u003c\/b\u003e does exactly that, in this highly readable and incisive account of how we found ourselves in this fractured post-truth world, and how we might get out.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom Crikey and Hardie Grant Books, \u003cb\u003eThe Crikey Read\u003c\/b\u003e is a series that brings an unflinching and truly independent eye to the issues of the day in Australia and the world.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42560517996702,"sku":"HPC-9781743798355","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/products\/9781743798355.jpg?v=1682558706","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781743798355","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
