How Mumbo-Jumbo Conquered The World

Discover the Sharp Satire of Modern Irrationality: How Mumbo-Jumbo Conquered The World by Francis Wheen In How Mumbo-Jumbo Conquered The World, journalist and historian Francis Wheen delivers a blisteringly witty critique of the modern age’s descent into unreason. With razor-sharp prose and caustic humour, Wheen takes aim at the rise of pseudoscience, celebrity cults, conspiracy theories, and economic superstition, tracing how once fringe beliefs have infiltrated mainstream thinking. From political rhetoric to pop psychology, he exposes the startling ways irrationality has replaced Enlightenment values of reason and evidence. Both provocative and darkly funny, this book is a powerful call to reclaim critical thought in a world increasingly ruled by nonsense. Essential reading for anyone concerned with truth, reason, and the state of public discourse.
