From the host of The David Pakman Show comes a vital look at how right-wing extremism has led to the fall of critical thinking and rise of reactionary politics--and what we can do about it to save our democracy

Known for providing incisive progressive political analysis without being dogmatic, popular radio and podcast host David Pakman delves into the vicious cycle of reactionary political ideology.

It's no secret how the right-wing has benefited and capitalized on disinformation and the polarization of US politics. Critical thinking and media literacy are on a rapid decline, and our republic is unable to agree upon a shared set of facts.

Infused with Pakman's signature pragmatic insight, The Echo Machine is not just a critique nor an instruction manual, but an invitation to think, question, and understand. Deeply researched and accessibly written, readers will learn:

  • The underlying issues with political discourse in America today.
  • How these issues have led to the intellectual race to the bottom.
  • Practical ways to improve discourse through improving critical thinking, media literacy, and public education.
  • Examples from real-world debates and discussions to better understand the impact of these issues on our democracy and why leftism is the best path forward.

Pakman calmly cuts through the alarmist noise to inspire readers across the political spectrum to break out of our toxic political echo chamber and ultimately save our democracy.
