Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America: A Recent History Free Audiobook Download by Kurt Andersen


"And so with the passage of time and the reopening of archives, we can now see just how much lies at the root of our present difficulties: an incessant fear-mongering campaign that has never stopped since before World War Two. This is called Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America."

Kurt Andersen's book, Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America, discusses the history of how evil men and self-interested corporations have been ruining America since the first half of the 20th century.

In Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America, Kurt Andersen explores how the 'culture of distrust' and the 'just-in-time' economy have combined to create a new era of American exceptionalism - an age in which the United States is transforming into an empire. To understand how this could happen, he weaves together the stories of a series of individuals who helped shape our modern society: Walter Lippmann, John Dewey, Alvin Toffler, Edward Bernays, Theodore Adorno, James Burnham, and others. Andersen contends that these men were all part of a larger movement called "Evil Geniusism," an ideology that was meant to be used by business leaders to transform society.

Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America is a recent history by Kurt Andersen. It is divided into several different chapters, and each chapter discusses a different topic concerning American culture and politics. The book talks about the "Evil Geniuses" who are the people behind the decline of American culture, such as the Rockefellers, the Kochs, Silicon Valley, Hollywood and so on.

The book follows the rise of the country and how it ended up in its current condition. Andersen's book is a damning critique of social sciences, cognitive sciences, and evolutionary psychology. The underlying thesis of his book is that America has always been an inherently evil place — from its beginning to today.

In his new book "Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America", Kurt Andersen tells the story of how the rise of Rupert Murdoch changed American society. Beginning with the founding of Fox News, rolling through the election of Donald Trump and ending with Facebook's role in Russian disinformation campaigns, Andersen lays out a theory that explains how America has been changing over the past three decades.
