About This Book

Jonathan Rauch explores the social system for turning disagreement into truth, tracing its origins to Enlightenment-era developments in science and liberal democracy. He explains how institutions like journalism, the law, and academia create a shared reality and identifies modern threats such as viral disinformation and coercive conformity.
