PublicHealthInnit reviewed Merchants of Doubt by Erik M Conway
Review of 'Merchants of Doubt' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A really interesting look at the various campaigns to battle scientific fact using smears, lies and doubt. Nobody who’s been paying attention will be surprised by the work against climate science or public health; what’s really enlightening is the individuals and organisations common to each campaign. The same dodgy scientists representing climate change denial, supporting tobacco nonsense etc. The book does flit between really good reporting and poorly structured rambling, but definitely worth a read.
