«Die große Versuchung» is the sociological essay by Vance Packard, published by Econ Düsseldorf in hardcover (560 pages, in German).
Vance Packard analyzes how commerce and the state manipulate human beings mentally and physically: methods of behavior control, reshaping the individual, psychosurgery, psychopharmacology and genetic manipulation. Faced with this scenario, he asks what we can do to defend our autonomy.
This work was originally published as «The People Shapers»; the 1978 German edition, translated by Hermann Kusterer, carries the subtitle «Der Eingriff in Leib und Seele».
For readers interested in sociology, psychology and social criticism about behavior control and manipulation in modern societies.
