Panic Profiteers: How Fear Became a Business and You Became the Customer

The Panic Profiteers: How They Scare You Into Buying Everything is a hilarious, eye-opening satire that exposes the billion-dollar industry of selling fear for fun and profit. From toxic toothpaste warnings to seasonal flu hysteria, fake eco-panics to gluten-free everything, Bob Jones breaks down the absurd world of fear-based marketing-one scam at a time.
This is not just a book. It's a survival guide for anyone who's ever been guilted into buying organic dryer sheets, worried about Wi-Fi waves turning their brain into soup, or stood in line for a vaccine at a gas station.
With 30+ sharply written chapters, each funnier and more infuriating than the last, this book shows how corporations, politicians, influencers, and media moguls manufacture anxiety to keep us swiping, spending, and surrendering our wallets in the name of "safety.

Why your hand sanitizer habit is a goldmine for someone
How "organic" became a magic word with no real magic
The twisted brilliance of allergy season marketing
What happens when Big Funeral goes corporate
How your fear became a subscription serviceLaugh, cringe, and think twice before buying that anti-radiation phone sticker.
