a Madison Avenue fable.
Seeking to produce a new dog food, a big corporation set market researchers, food chemists and advertising agencies to work. The experts came up with a new product they were proud of. The dog food sold well, for a while. Then it slumped. Puzzled, the corporate executives commissioned a public opinion firm to see what was wrong.
Soon, the answer came back: "The dogs don't like it."
The Neutralist is somewhat Menckenesque in attitude toward the electorate. I am happily amazed that they find the flavor of the current sales pitch a bit off.
this is from Ben Wattenberg. I have no idea how he feels about intervention, it is just that the story works.
