> "The average American child sees about 40,000 television commercials every year. Companies target younger viewers all the time, selling everything from sugar cereals to minivans. Kids are requesting specific brands as soon as they can talk.> In this shocking and engrossing expose, psychologist Susan Linn uncovers the marketing industry's $15 billion yearly effort to cultivate nagging, insatiable, cradle-to-grave consumers. This advertising blitz stifles creativity and exacerbates obesity, eating disorders, violence, sexual precocity, and substance abuse. Linn-a mother herself who teaches at Harvard Medical School-recognizes that parents alone are no match for the marketing experts.

in reply to Brian Small • •> “As my books and essays have appeared, I have been severely criticized as an ignorant man who spreads himself thin on a wide variety of subjects, on sociology and psychology, urbanism and technology, education, literature, esthetics, and ethics. It is true that I don’t know much, but it is false that I write about many subjects. I have only one, the human beings I know in their man-made scene. I do not observe that people are in fact subdivided in ways to be conveniently treated by the ‘wide variety’ of separate disciplines. If you talk separately about their group behavior or their individual behavior, their environment or their characters, their practicality or their sensibility, you lose what you are talking about.”
