Publisher: New York Oxford University Press 2017Description: xi, 344p.ISBN: 9780190264604.Subject(s): Intellectual -- Political aspects -- Political activity -- Knowledge, SociologyDDC classification: 001.1 Summary: The concept of the "public intellectual" began in the early twentieth century when the new mass media catapulted intellectuals who were able to write for the general public to semi-stardom. Ideas Industry discusses the "thought leader." In contrast to public intellectuals, thought leaders gain fame as purveyors of a single big idea. Thought leaders and their associated ideas tend to become brands - hedgehogs to the public intellectual fox. They have also proven to be quite successful, as evidenced by TED, Aspen Ideas, the Clinton Global Initiative, and the like.
