Soul Traders - A Must Read
Jonathan Gabay's forthcoming new book Soul Traders could well ruffle a few feathers in "Corporate America". Soul Traders is a hard-hitting analysis of the impact of propaganda and spin on popular culture - from the way Hezbollah uses the web as a recruitment tool, to branding ploys, recession double-speak and the rise of a celebrity hegemony.
