Conspiracy theories are inevitable in complex human societies. And
while they have always been with us, their multiplication and
proliferation is unprecedented due to increasing knowledge, a sense
of powerlessness, and a distrust of elites, that have merged to
generate conspiracy theories on a vast scale in our era. In recent
years, scholars have begun to study this genuinely important
phenomenon in a concerted way. In Conspiracy Theories and the
People Who Believe Them, Joseph E. Uscinski has gathered forty top
researchers on the topic to provide the foundational tools and
evidence to better understand conspiracy theories not just in the
United States, but around the world. Each chapter is informed by
three core questions: Why do so many people believe in conspiracy
theories? What are their effects? What can or should be done about
them? Using systematic analysis, rich discussion, and cutting-edge
research, this volume will help us better understand an extremely
important, yet relatively neglected, phenomenon.
