Politicians are the great illusionists. ... the reason why they are illusionists is because politics has lost control of the economy. Politics should be a battle of ideas, it is not any more a battle of ideas. There is no left, there is no right. Politicians, what they do is, they create a basic economic condition for the individual and a corporation in order to grow economically, to become rich. But to hide this kind of transformation to hide the true nature of the state which has now become a market-state -- they project illusions. This is the key problem, that we, the people, are on the receiving-end of these illusions and often we don't know what is real and what is not.
