More about the book
Lippman's influential work explores the concept of the public as an illusion, arguing that the average citizen lacks the necessary knowledge to make informed voting decisions on complex issues. He suggests that the idea of a fully informed electorate is a myth, leading to the conclusion that the public's role in democracy is more of a phantom than a reality. This thought-provoking analysis has shaped political discourse for decades, challenging traditional notions of democracy and the capabilities of the average voter.
