For In These Times, Terry J. Allen explores the subtle magic of misdirection in politics and economics, writing: "It's the oldest trick in the book. The magician flashes the shiny object to misdirect the audience's attention from the real action. In the theater of politics and economics, the magic consists in getting people to focus on poor options so as to shift their sight from wider, more fundamental possibilities for reform. Distracted by half-truths and seduced by shortsighted strategies, we squander time, energy and political capital."
