The book documents the rise of what’s more politely called ‘market fundamentalism’ over the last century. The first part of the myth is the notion of the free market, the idea that you could even meaningfully talk about “the free market” as a thing that exists. Oreskes: In a way, the myth isn’t just one thing it’s a set of interconnected concepts that together support this larger ideology of market fundamentalism. The Guardian: How do you define “the big myth”? This interview has been edited for length and clarity. The Guardian spoke to Oreskes and Conway about The Big Myth and how it came to dominate how Americans think about government regulation. At the heart of their beliefs, Oreskes and Conway argue, was the big myth. The book is both a sequel and a prequel to their groundbreaking book Merchants of Doubt, which is about a handful of prominent scientists who obfuscated clear scientific findings to oppose climate regulation. In their new book – The Big Myth – How American Business Taught Us to Loathe Government and Love the Free Market – Oreskes and Conway document the rise of what’s more politely called “market fundamentalism” over the last century, from corporate propaganda and fringe academic theory to mainstream ideology.

Engrossing, grotesque, and completely entrancing, Russell's Gothic tales are the best kind of dreadful. Horror legend Ray Russell's haunting and macabre stories, including "perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written" (Stephen King), with a foreword by acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro Haunted Castles is the definitive, complete collection of Ray Russell's masterful Gothic horror stories, including the famously terrifying novella trio of "Sardonicus," "Sanguinarius," and "Sagittarius."
