During the 1920s, many Americans delighted in the consumer products and commercial leisure activities that made up a new mass culture. Many of these activities -- reading best-seller books, listening to the phonograph, dancing at nightclubs, and attending professional and college sporting events -- became defining features of modern American culture. Professional sports figures became famous. For instance, baseball player Babe Ruth typified the culture's emphasis on frivolity and celebrity. Two of the most popular mass culture activities were listening to the radio and going to the movies. The number of commercial radio stations increased from one to well over 800 between 1920 and 1929. National radio networks, such as the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), were established.

The bestselling book revealing why Americans are so fearful, and why we fear the wrong things--now updated for the age of TrumpIn the age of Trump, our society is defined by fear. Indeed, three out of four Americans say they feel more fearful today than they did only a couple decades ago. But are we living in exceptionally perilous times? In his bestselling book The Culture of Fear, sociologist Barry Glassner demonstrates that it is our perception of danger that has increased, not the actual level of risk. Glassner exposes the people and organizations that manipulate our perceptions and profit from our fears: politicians who win elections by heightening concerns about crime and drug use even as rates for both are declining advocacy groups that raise money by exaggerating the prevalence of particular diseases TV shows that create a new scare every week to garner ratings. Glassner spells out the prices we pay for social panics: the huge sums of money that go to waste on unnecessary programs and products as well as time and energy spent worrying about our fears.All the while, we are distracted from the true threats, from climate change to worsening inequality. In this updated edition of a modern classic, Glassner examines the current panics over vaccination and political correctness and reveals why Donald Trump\'s fearmongering is so dangerously effective.
