Chapter from: "Greater Good: How Good Marketing Makes for Better Democracy"
Published by: Harvard Business Publishing
Published in: 2008

Abstract

The consumer in each of us can learn from the citizen, and the citizen can learn from the consumer. Marketers must learn from both. Instead of seeing marketing as a threat to democracy, we should explore how the benefits common to both give us opportunities to build bridges between the two. To recognize the commonalities between marketing and democracy is to grant people the power to create a greater good. This chapter is excerpted from ‘Greater Good: How Good Marketing Makes for Better Democracy'.
