Book Summaries 2024Merchants of Doubt How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. ConwayMerchants of doubt are people or organizations who discredit science that threatens their agenda or ideology. The first merchants of doubt were members of the tobacco industry—when scientists discovered that smoking caused cancer, it was bad for businesses. It was also bad for capitalism in general because it suggested that the market wasn’t self-regulating, and the lack of regulation was killing people. Other defenders of the free market started using the tobacco industry’s techniques, such as funding new (and hopefully more favorable) studies or calling for balanced media coverage.In Merchants of Doubt, science histor...2024-05-0701 min

The Rational View podcast with Dr. Al ScottProf. Naomi Oreskes exposes the ’Big Myth’ of neo-liberal economicsIn this episode I will be taking a look at the ugly side of unrestricted capitalism, and how lobbying has skewed the public debate and shifted the Overton window to the right. Some would argue that unrestricted capitalism has been a great boon lifting society into an age of plenty. Others would argue that it has done this by maintaining an economic class hierarchy that enables the rich to enslave the poor. Are workers entering into employment agreements between equals for a mutually beneficial exchange of labour for wages, or are people forced into degrading wage slavery under duress...2023-10-2146 min

Zwischen zwei Deckeln„Merchants of Doubt“ von Naomi Oreskes & Erik M. Conway
Die Schnittstelle zwischen Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft ist immer mal wieder Thema hier im Podcast. Dieses Mal schauen Holger und Amanda auf einen besonders perfiden Aspekt dieser Diskussion: die strategische Manipulation der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung von Wissenschaft:
In „Merchants of Doubt“ beschreiben Naomi Oreskes und Eric Conway wie eine kleine Gruppe von politisch motivierten, die freie Marktwirtschaft befürwortenden Wissenschaftlern wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung untergraben haben. Damit haben sie die öffentliche Wahrnehmung von Wissenschaft beschädigt und politische Maßnahmen verzögert.
