Merchants of Doubt

When truth collides with profit, doubt becomes a weapon.

In Merchants of Doubt, Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway expose how a small group of scientists and advisors have systematically misled the public on issues ranging from tobacco to climate change. Through meticulous research and compelling case studies, the authors reveal the tactics used to manipulate public opinion, sow confusion, and protect vested interests. The book demonstrates how misinformation can influence policy, undermine science, and threaten societal well-being.

Oreskes and Conway detail the networks of think tanks, media campaigns, and political actors who exploit uncertainty to their advantage, showing that doubt is often manufactured and intentional. The book blends historical investigation with scientific analysis, providing readers with the tools to discern fact from manipulation and understand the broader implications of strategic deception.

Provocative, enlightening, and rigorously documented, Merchants of Doubt challenges readers to question sources, critically evaluate claims, and recognize the power dynamics behind public discourse. It is an essential guide to understanding the forces that shape opinion and the importance of defending truth in the modern world.
