Death Of The Citizen, Birth Of The Consumer
Subjects –> Citizens –> Consumers
The thoughts behind the arrows goes like this: we were subjects who progressed to become citizens, only to now devolve into consumers.
This is an idea read from “Life Inc.: How the World Became a Corporation and How to Take It Back,“ by Douglas Rushkoff. Rather than seeing a video of Douglas speaking, I’m glad I was first introduced to Douglas’ work via Matt Reyes’ post over at SWOM first – I’m not sure I’m convinced that he is as eloquent talking as he is writing.
At any rate, it’s far and wide that I get excited about a book, and from what I’ve read so far I think I’m in for a treat.
