very interesting especially as a paper was circulated a few weeks ago co-authored by Rory Sutherland; basically suggesting that patriarchy, marketing and capitalism are responsible for all the things that have ever gone wrong in the world and that advertising need to start fighting for the other side. if I remember correctly, one of the things that apparently helped the rise of the patriarchy was the move to field-based agriculture. In other words, this patriarchal conspiracy has been going on for a while! A cynic would say that the great and the good of the advertising industry can see that a top-down, big state Big Brother society is just round the corner and they are lining themselves up to be its mouthpiece. Of course, that is just paranoid nonsense....
Well said, thank you for sharing
