In the rampant consumer society of the 90s, THE MANIPULATORS is a timely reminder of the sneaky campaigns, the psychological insights and the scientific research that lie behind our buying decisions. From the heady days of the 50s, when subliminal messages were invented, to the databases of the 90s, Jeffrey Robinson shows how the multi-billion dollar advertising and marketing industry preys on our insecurities, targets the most susceptible members of society - our children - and bombards us with hundreds of ads a day. Witty, incisive and ultimately disturbing, THE MANIPULATORS is a salutary look at the way advertising has shaped our present and how, with the vast opportunities offered by the internet, it will control our future.
The major pharmaceutical companies, according to John le Carré – who has based his novel The Constant Gardener on their depredations – “are engaged in the systematic corruption of the medical profession, country by country.” Jeffrey Robinson can back up that charge. In Prescription Games, Jeffrey Robinson exposes the yawning abyss between the claims to altruism made by pharmaceutical companies and the harsh reality of their everyday practice. When the industry claims that the enormous markup they charge for new drugs pays the cost of developing new ones, they don’t say that as much as 80 per cent of R&D money is actually directed at developing drugs designed to compete with existi...
It is almost twenty-five years since Jeffrey Robinson wrote the bestseller The Laundrymen. In those heady days of the early 1990s, the United States was cocaine saturated; white powder was pouring into Britain, the City of London was a cesspool of dirty money, and nearly $300 billion worth of ill-gotten cash was circling the globe, looking to get clean. Today the USA is still cocaine saturated, white powder continues to pour into Britain, and now more than $1 trillion worth of ill-gotten cash is circling the globe, looking to get clean. Where did it all go wrong? Start with the City of London, which is, more than ever, a cesspool of dirty money. It began with drug money and is now awash with...
The acclaimed biography by Jeffrey Robinson, now revised and updated to coincide with the major motion picture starring Nicole Kidman as Princess Grace. It was one of the most famous romances of the 20th century—Europe's most eligible bachelor, Prince Rainier of Monaco, and America's most beautiful movie star, the Academy Award-winning actress Grace Kelly, fell in love against the backdrop of the closest thing the modern world has to a magical kingdom, the French Riviera's Principality of Monaco. Told with affection and humor, and written with the unprecedented cooperation of Prince Rainier III and his children, Prince Albert, Princess Caroline, and Princess Stephanie, Grace of Monaco takes readers beneath the surface glitz and the glamour of Monte Carlo for a never-to-be-forgotten portrait of the House of Grimaldi.
