Pre-Owned Conspiracy Theories (Hardcover) 9780824211158

The expression ""conspiracy theory"" is used by scholars and in popular culture to identify secret military, banking, or political actions aimed at ""stealing"" power, money, or freedom, from ""the people"". Less illustrious uses refer to folklore and urban legend. Sometimes the expression is used to characterise a form of speculation as ridiculous, outlandish or irrational.
