Artifice In the excerpt “Empire of Illusion” by Chris Hedges argues that “ the most essential skill … is artifice.” After reading the passage, I agree with Chris Hedges because in Political Theater and Consumer culture that is the most popular skill. Artifice is important because people use this skill to confuse others that do not know what is going on.
