2012 Reprint of 1922 Edition. Public Opinion is a critical assessment of functional democratic government, especially the irrational, and often self-serving, social perceptions that influence individual behavior, and prevent optimal societal cohesion. The descriptions of the cognitive limitations people face in comprehending their socio-political and cultural environments, proposes that people must inevitably apply an evolving catalogue of general stereotypes to a complex reality, rendered Public Opinion a seminal text in the fields of media studies, political science, and social psychology. Public Opinion proposes that the increased power of propaganda, and the specialized knowledge required for effective political decisions, have rendered impossible the traditional notion of democracy. Moreover, the work introduced the phrase the manufacture of consent, which Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman used as the title of their book Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media.

Walter Lippmann (1889-1974) was an American writer, reporter and political commentator whose career spanned decades and produced some of the most important journalism in American history. He was the first to introduce the concept of the Cold War with his 1947 novel of that name, received myriad awards—including two Pulitzer Prizes (1958, 1962)—and wrote nearly ten thousand articles and columns, earning him the title of the Great Elucidator. The 1922 book Public Opinion is Lippmann's assessment of functional democratic government and the role of citizens in a democracy; it examines the dilemmas presented in such a revolutionary period of history and places doubts on people's ability to govern themselves. He emphasizes the media's function in shaping public perceptions and warns against the power of propaganda. Lippmann's exploration and endorsement of modern democracy have made his body of work a staple in the field of political science.
