Summary:
With brilliant insights from psychology, sociology, and economics, Manjoo explains how myths pushed by both partisans and marketers--whether about global warming, the war in Iraq, 9/11, or even the virtues of a certain candy bar--have attracted wide support in recent years. His characters include the Swift Boat veterans, Lou Dobbs, and conspiracy theorists of all varieties, all of whom prove that true matters less, now, than true enough.
