Propaganda: Theory and Practice
Abstract
Analysis of the history of the modern world, especially in the West, but also recently in the East, has found most students in agreement on the point that that history has been marked by a gradual transition from one basic type of social organization to another. The distinctions made by the different authors are familiar ones: Sir Henry Maine's status society versus contract society, Ferdinand Toennies' gemeinschaft versus gesellschaft, Robert Redfield's folk- urban continuum, the community-association concepts develop- ed by Robert MacIver and adopted by most sociologists, and the popular, less precise rural-urban distinction.
