About

Der Westend Verlag wurde im Januar 2004 gegründet, zunächst als „Ein-Buch-Verlag": Der Titel 50 einfache Dinge, die Sie tun können, um die Welt zu retten erschien im September des gleichen Jahres und wurde schnell zu einem großen Erfolg: vier Auflagen, vier Auslandslizenzen, Taschenbuchlizenz. Von diesem Erfolg beflügelt, entstand die „50-Dinge-Reihe". Parallel wurde ein ambitioniertes Sachbuchprogramm -- Politik / Wirtschaft / Gesellschaft / Ökologie -- entwickelt.

Video Description

Bestselling author Rainer Mausfeld ("Why Are the Lambs Silent") discusses his book "Fear and Power" with publisher Markus J. Karsten. Rainer Mausfeld - "Fear and Power" https://www.westendverlag.de/buch/ang... Power and fear are closely linked in the political and social world. Power has many advantages for those who wield it and many disadvantages for those subject to it, because power creates fear in those subject to it. Since fear itself exerts power over those who are feared, those who understand how to create fear have a very effective method of stabilizing and expanding their power. Creating fear is an instrument of domination, and techniques for generating social fear are part of the tools of power. This insight is as old as the history of civilization. Rainer Mausfeld, who already published a brilliant work of enlightenment with "Why Are the Lambs Silent?", landing it on the bestseller lists, delivers an extremely important expansion with this book, one that is needed more than ever. Comments on his bestseller "Why Are the Lambs Silent": "A painful yet brilliant endoscopy of the current political system. Mausfeld is a popular enlightener in the tradition of Humboldt, Dewey, and Chomsky... a timely wake-up call." NZZ "With his new book, Rainer Mausfeld inspires the longing for change." Rubikon "Mausfeld uncovers the systematic nature of this indoctrination and makes us sensitive to the diverse methods of psychological influence." NachDenkseiten "The book is particularly concerned with deception and illusions regarding the concept of democracy and the state of society." Telepolis
