Walter Lippman (1889-1974) was an American writer, journalist, propagandist and sociologist, one of the creators of modern American liberalism, and a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner. He took an active part in the election campaign of American President Woodrow Wilson and in the development of the "Fourteen Points" - the American program of post-war development of the world. During World War I, he was involved in propaganda and wrote countless leaflets and articles, but was later dismissed by Wilson because of ideological differences. Lippmann's idea that propaganda should serve not so much the cause of victory as laying the foundations for a just postwar world was declared unacceptable.
In his work "Public Opinion" the author combined philosophical, psychological, historical, sociological and political science analysis and introduced the concepts of pseudo-environment and stereotype, which, in his opinion, call into question the fundamental possibility of democracy. The author supports his conclusions with numerous examples that strike the imagination of the modern reader with their enduring relevance.
