Who believes in conspiracy theories, and why are some people more susceptible to them than others? What are the consequences of such beliefs? Has a conspiracy theory ever turned out to be true? The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories debunks the myth that conspiracy theories are a modern phenomenon, exploring their broad social contexts, from politics to the workplace. The book explains why some people are more susceptible to these beliefs than others and how they are produced by recognizable and predictable psychological processes. Featuring examples such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and climate change, The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories shows us that while such beliefs are not always irrational and are not a pathological trait, they can be harmful to individuals and society.

Rose City Books is honored to present this new edition of Augustin Barruel's, The Antisocial Conspiracy, the third volume from his History of Jacobinism. It's superbly translated from the 1798, London first edition, and handsomely formatted in the original layout style. Also included for historical reference is the 1798, British Critic (scholarly review of the third volume), plus single letters from Thomas Jefferson & George Washington, and five source images. Originally written in French, Barruel's massive authoritative work (four volumes in total) was completed in 1798. And the third volume was just making its way to the press (near the end of 1797), when Robison's Proofs of a Conspiracy was published. This third part details the hierarchy of the Bavarian Illuminati secret society, and its founder Adam Weishaupt.
