À propos de cet audio
Well-heeled American corporations have long had a financial stake in undermining scientific consensus and manufacturing uncertainty. In The Triumph of Doubt, former Obama and Clinton official David Michaels details how corrupt science becomes public policy - and where it's happening today.
Opioids. Concussions. Obesity. Climate change.
America is a country of everyday crises - big, long-spanning problems that persist despite their toll on the country's health. And for every case of government inaction on one of these issues, there is a set of familiar, doubtful refrains: The science is unclear. The data is inconclusive. Regulation is unjustified. It's a slippery slope.
Is it?
The Triumph of Doubt traces the ascendance of science-for-hire in American life and government, from its origins in the tobacco industry in the 1950s to its current manifestations across government, public policy, and even professional sports. Amid fraught conversations of "alternative facts" and "truth decay", The Triumph of Doubt wields its unprecedented access to shine a light on the machinations and scope of manipulated science in American society. It is an urgent, revelatory work, one that promises to reorient conversations around science and the public good for the foreseeable future.

From Product Defense To Societal Schism
The Triumph of Doubt ...documents how corporate pseudo science and propaganda has evolved from product defense to a pervasive and socially destructive ideology.
David Micheal’s insider expertise outlines how tools developed by the sugar, tobacco and oil industries have morphed to become the source of America’s current tectonic conflicts.
Micheal’s examination reveals how predatory corporate funding has corrupted politics and led to the widespread demonization of science; government regulation and intellectual objectivity.
The Trump catastrophe is the result with more to come unless his recipe for each citizen’s right to protection and health is acted upon.

Corporate Corruption of Science, ans Some Ploitics
Very detailed and through description of how Big Corporations have corrupted Science to get their legislation, regulation and litigation to go their way. Many examples, some of them firsthand. Outstanding read to help one understand how the world works.
I will note that there is an overly anti-Republican/anti-Trumo bent in the second half of the book. Quite possibly this is warranted, but it did make the book feel political. Again this may be the actual facts. But are they Democrats completely blameless or maybe even shining white nights in this? The story that I understand is that legislators on both sides of the aisle have been corrupted in this. So maybe some reporting on the failings on both sides would have been good. But then maybe it is I that had fallen victim the disinformation campaign. I am Canadian so I am once removed from this problem. Will be interesting to read reviews and counter narratives to this.
An excellent book that will make you look different at how our world works.
