Who are some of the forgotten shapers of our society?

1 Answer

Answer :

Personally, I think George Creel would be up there on the list, not just because of shaping of modern propaganda and the current media and film industry, but also because of his long-lasting effect on newer businesses/businessman, like Rupert Murdoch, who called Creel the most influential person in his life. But mostly because I just did a report on him, and he was the first person that came to mind.
