Brains, Media and Politics by Rodolfo Leyva
This book combines leading theories from sociology, media-communications and cognitive science, and draws on a unique mix of qualitative and quantitative evidence to provide a nuanced account of how the cognitive dimensions of people's everyday social practices contribute to the macro processes of neoliberal reproduction."Rudy Leyva shows, in a model of cumulative scholarship, that watching programmes glorifying materialism and the rich makes people more selfish, less critical of inequality, more punitive in their attitudes to welfare and less concerned with hyper-consumptionA fearless, crucially important and scary book - lucid and engagingly written too." - Ian Gough, Visiting Professor, CASE, LSE, UK; author of Heat, Greed and Human Need.
Rodolfo Leyva is a fellow in the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science, UK.
