Do you ever feel overwhelmed and powerless after watching the news? Does it make you feel sad about the world, without much hope for its future? Take a breath. The world is not as bad as the headlines would have you believe!

Un video, un post, una foto, un meme, una frase, una canzone diventano tormentoni, improvvisamente prendono a circolare, colonizzando, grazie a computer, smartphone, tv, giornali, la nostra attenzione e la nostra mente. Perché certe idee circolano più di altre? Che cosa rende più o meno virale un'immagine o un prodotto culturale? Il libro aiuta a capire i meccanismi che presiedono alla riproduzione e alla trasmissione delle idee, assicurandone la propagazione e il successo o decretandone il fallimento.

We take the seven-day week for granted, rarely asking what anchors it or what it does to us. Yet weeks are not dictated by the natural order. They are, in fact, an artificial construction of the modern world. With meticulous archival research that draws on a wide array of sources - including newspapers, restaurant menus, theater schedules, marriage records, school curricula, folklore, housekeeping guides, courtroom testimony, and diaries - David Henkin reveals how our current devotion to weekly rhythms emerged in the United States during the first half of the 19th century.

Rudolf Eisler stellte schon vor über 100 Jahren fest: "Die organisierten Massen haben zu allen Zeiten eine wichtige Rolle im Völkerleben gespielt, niemals aber in solchem Maße wie heute. Die unbewusste Wirksamkeit der Massen, die an die Stelle der bewussten Tatkraft der einzelnen tritt, bildet ein wesentliches Kennzeichen der Gegenwart."
