Synopsis

Americans have come to tolerate, embrace and even champion many things that would have horrified their parents’ generation – from easy divorce and unrestricted abortion-on-demand to extreme body piercing and teaching homosexuality to grade-schoolers. Does that mean today’s Americans are inherently more morally confused and depraved than previous generations? Of course not, says veteran journalist David Kupelian. But they have fallen victim to some of the most stunningly brilliant and compelling marketing campaigns in modern history.“The Marketing of Evil” reveals how much of what Americans once almost universally abhorred has been packaged, perfumed, gift-wrapped and sold to them as though it had great value. Highly skilled marketers, playing on our deeply felt national values of fairness, generosity and tolerance, have persuaded us to embrace as enlightened and noble that which all previous generations since America’s founding regarded as grossly self-destructive – in a word, evil.In this groundbreaking and meticulously researched book, Kupelian peels back the veil of marketing-induced deception to reveal exactly when, where, how, and especially why Americans bought into the lies that now threaten the future of the country.For example, few of us realize that the widely revered father of the “sexual revolution” has been irrefutably exposed as a full-fledged sexual psychopath who encouraged pedophilia. Or that giant corporations voraciously competing for America’s $150 billion teen market routinely infiltrate young people’s social groups to find out how better to lead children into ever more debauched forms of “authentic self-expression.”Likewise, most of us mistakenly believe the “abortion rights” and “gay rights” movements were spontaneous, grassroots uprisings of neglected or persecuted minorities wanting to breathe free. Few people realize America was actually “sold” on abortion thanks to an audacious public relations campaign that relied on fantastic lies and fabrications. Or that the “gay rights” movement – which transformed America’s former view of homosexuals as self-destructive human beings into their current status as victims and cultural heroes – faithfully followed an in-depth, phased plan laid out by professional Harvard-trained marketers.No quarter is given in this riveting, insightful exploration of how lies, both subtle and outrageous, are packaged as truth. From the federal government to the public school system to the news media to the hidden creators of “youth culture,” nothing is exempt from the thousand-watt spotlight of Kupelian’s journalistic inquiry.In the end, “The Marketing of Evil” is an up-close, modern-day look at what is traditionally known as “temptation” – the art and science of making evil look good.

Goodreads review by Julie on January 06, 2010

Well - This one is just making me mad. An exposé of how we are systematically and methodically fed the lie that good is bad and bad is good. This was a good one to read after the one mentioned above. In light of the fact that the Jesus Of Suburbia book encourages us to live a life that will be “read......more

AmblesideOnline year 12 book. This is definitely not a favorite but I do think there is important information in it. I would definitely say pre-read this one. I didn’t always agree with the author’s tone or even all of his conclusions but I do think we need to be very conscious of our worldview, wer......more

Goodreads review by R.E.J. on March 27, 2018

I wasn't going to review this book until I read a half dozen of the scurrilous reviews. In recent decades America has been swamped in increasingly corrosive propaganda. This book addresses that issue. I was born before World War II and know about the promotion of evil: the Nazis were experts at it a......more

Goodreads review by Jan on September 20, 2012

Another profoundly impacting book that will change how you see the world around you. The author does a great job of exposing how in one generation we have gone from being people who uphold traditional values to see evil repackaged and now defining our society. Things like abortion, homosexuality hav......more
