Answer:

The media (magic)

Step-by-step explanation:

As Noam Chomsky brilliantly explains in Keeping the Rabble in Line the people in power (i.e. the ruling class) have specific reasons to keep the class division invisible. In Making Class Invisible Mantsios takes a closer look to how media works and focuses on the famous people and their fascinating magical lifes, all in order to make us wrongly belief that wealth & power are benevolent.
