  52. Speier wrote this article while employed by the RAND Corporation to study the German “re-education” policy of the immediate postwar period. He argues that modern notions of public opinion central to democratic government emerged from structural transformations in British and French society in the 18th century, especially the expansion of the reading public and the emergence of new social institutions in the coffeehouse and salon.
