«Los nuevos charlatanes» is Damian Thompson's essay on misinformation, published by Editorial Crítica in hardback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Thompson analyses how the internet spreads conspiracy theories, pseudoscience and historical falsehoods, and how this misinformation takes hold in public opinion. He links these narratives to nationalism and racism, and calls for a return to critical thinking and Enlightenment values to curb their political and social consequences.
Volume 1 of the Ares y Mares collection; originally published as «Counterknowledge» in 2008.
A read for those who want to understand the rise of conspiracy theories and strengthen critical thinking.
