If we were to strip bullshit from our conversations, television screens, newspapers and airwaves, we would barely recognize what remained. Bullshit has become so accepted that people cannot only make a living from it, and use it to achieve power, prestige and wealth, they can even win prizes for it. Unironic prizes. In this biting new book Joe Bennett unpacks examples of everyday bullshit, commercial, spiritual and political, from New Zealand and around the world to expose the techniques that underlie it"--Publisher information.
