Beschreibung

'A work of engaging pop philosophy and accessible social science [and] a boisterous dissection of the forces jellifying our minds' Sunday Times
Includes brand new material covering the US election and Brexit

Every day, many people will try to change your mind, but they won't reason with you. Instead, you'll be nudged, anchored, incentivised and manipulated in barely noticeable ways. It's a profound shift in the way we interact with one another. 

Philosopher James Garvey explores the hidden story of persuasion and the men and women in the business of changing our minds. From the covert PR used to start the first Gulf War to the neuromarketing of products to appeal to our unconscious minds, he reveals the dark arts practised by professional persuaders.

How did we end up with a world where beliefs are mass-produced by lobbyists and PR firms? Could Google or Facebook swing elections? Are new kinds of persuasion making us less likely to live happy, decent lives in an open, peaceful world?

Is it too late, or can we learn to listen to reason again? The Persuaders is a call to think again about how we think now.

    Venture capital (VC) is a type of private equity funding that is provided to startups, early-stage companies, or emerging businesses with high growth potential. The primary goal of venture capital is to invest in companies that are poised for rapid growth and, ultimately, to achieve significant financial returns. Venture capitalists, typically investors or firms, provide capital in exchange for equity ownership in the company. This investment is usually made in industries that are considered innovative or disruptive, such as technology, healthcare, and biotechnology. 
    Venture capital plays a vital role in the economy by supporting entrepreneurship and fostering innovation. Many of the most successful and iconic companies, such as Apple, Google, and Facebook, began as startups backed by venture capital. These investments not only provide financial resources but also offer guidance, mentorship, and access to a broad network of industry professionals. In this sense, venture capitalists often play an active role in shaping the direction and strategy of the companies they invest in, helping them scale and navigate challenges in their growth journey. 
    The venture capital ecosystem consists of several key players, each playing a unique role in the investment process. At the center are venture capital firms, which raise capital from institutional investors, such as pension funds and endowments, as well as high-net-worth individuals. These firms then deploy the capital into promising startups. Founders and entrepreneurs who seek venture capital must pitch their business ideas to potential investors, demonstrating the growth potential of their ventures and how the capital will help them achieve their goals.
