Americans have come to tolerate, embrace and even champion many
things that would have horrified their parents' generation - from
easy divorce and unrestricted abortion-on-demand to extreme body
piercing and teaching homosexuality to grade-schoolers. Does that
mean today's Americans are inherently more morally confused and
depraved than previous generations? Of course not, says veteran
journalist David Kupelian, but they have fallen victim to some of
the most stunningly brilliant and compelling marketing campaigns in
modern history. The Marketing of Evil reveals how much of
what Americans once almost universally abhorred has been packaged,
perfumed, gift-wrapped and sold as though it had great value.
Highly skilled marketers, playing on deeply felt national values of
fairness, generosity and tolerance, have persuaded us to embrace as
enlightened and noble that which generations since America's
Founding regarded as grossly self-destructive - in a word,
evil.
No quarter is given in this riveting, insightful exploration of
how lies, both subtle and outrageous, are packaged as truth. From
the federal government to the public school system to the news
media to the hidden creators of "youth culture," nothing is exempt
from the thousand-watt spotlight of Kupelian's journalistic
inquiry. In the end, The Marketing of Evil is an up-close,
modern-day look at what is traditionally known as "temptation" -
the art and science of making evil look good.
