Edward Bernays: from Manipulating Public Opinion to Engineering of Consent


The author publishes this commentary, thus presenting the next publication, subsequent to it, e.g. the joint publication of his translations of two articles by the famous American theoretician and practician of propaganda Edward L. Bernays: “Manipulating Public Opinion” (1928) and “Engineering of Consent” (1947). These two articles in their time introduced the concepts presented by their headlines into American political science.
