Vance Packard's The Hidden Persuaders | Professor James Woudhuysen

The Academy is the boi charity’s annual, residential event where people from all walks of life gather together to cultivate themselves with lectures and seminars, based around good books, and in good company. Whilst the regular, collegiate atmosphere of The Academy was sadly not possible in 2020, we gathered curious minds together on the original date of the scheduled event, Saturday 20 June - but we met online via Zoom.
This session is a recording of one of the lunch-time book shorts on Vance Packard's The Hidden Persuaders.
LECTURER:
Professor James Woudhuysen, visiting professor, London South Bank University; co-author, Energise! A future for energy innovation; co-author, Why is construction so backward?

Hey David, you were supposed to ask a question, not give a droning soliloquy!

Weak. All the familiar bells rung. Can't keep to the topic. Read on your own with context and
gain much more than time spent on this piece. The height of the science... soundbites from 60 and 70 years ago. Write about that...
If you pull the names dropped in this piece and actually read them....well
