Makes use of a number of experiments in which respondents are told various stories about the past and future and then the impact of these stories upon contemporary preferences is measured. The book shows that in essence, political reality can be politically determined. Past, present, and future are not givens.

Trade Review
Ginsberg and Bachner’s considerations of the political importance of time—weaved with astute observations from domestic and international politics, religion, and film history—is nothing short of brilliant. I cannot remember being this excited about a book."—Douglas B. Harris, Loyola University Maryland
