We live in the age of post-truth, when techniques for manipulating our consciousness have reached unprecedented levels. Under the guise of all sorts of shows and materials in the media, politicians and marketers sell the public wars, terrorism, enemies, threats, blood, dirt, uncertainty, and a sense of greatness all at once. In the space of post-truth, everyone can find facts to support any hypothesis and any beliefs about the world.
Andrei Movchan is one of the most well-known and experienced top managers in the Russian financial market. In this book, he offers a balanced assessment of major events in Russia and the world over the past few years. His opinion sounds harsh and uncompromising—but that’s the author’s main message: once we learn to hear and adequately evaluate someone else’s uncomfortable or incomprehensible opinion, we’ll be able to push through the information noise and live consciously.
