Is it the faith of a secular society? If so, why does it inspire so little devotion? Advertising, the Uneasy Persuasion is a clear-eyed account of advertising as both business and social institution. Instead of fuelling the moral indignation surrounding the industry, or feeding fantasies of powerful manipulators, Michael Schudson presents a clear assessment of advertising in its wider sociological and historical framework, persuasively concluding that advertising is not nearly as important, effective, or scientifically founded as either its advocates or its critics imagine. 606 $aAdvertising$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aAdvertising$xHistory. 676 $a659.1/042/0973 700 $aSchudson$b Michael.$0143107 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815470303321 996 $aAdvertising, the uneasy persuasion$94090974 997 $aUNINA
