In the "old" Gilded Age, the barons of business accumulated vast wealth and influence from their railroads, steel mills, and banks. But today it is culture that stands at the heart of the American enterprise, mass entertainment the economic dynamo that brings the public into the consuming fold and consolidates the power of business over the American mind. For a decade The Baffler has been the invigorating voice of dissent against these developments, in the grand tradition of the muckrakers and The American Mercury. This collection gathers the best of its writing to explore such peculiar developments as the birth of the rebel hero as consumer in the pages of Wired and Details; the ever-accelerating race to market youth culture; the rise of new business gurus like Tom Peters and the fad for Hobbesian corporate "reengineering"; and the encroachment of advertising and commercial enterprise into every last nook and cranny of American life. With its liberating attitude and cant-free intelligence, this book is a powerful polemic against the designs of the culture business on us all.

My Dog’s New Favorite Toy!
My pup is absolutely obsessed with this bottle-shaped dog toy—it’s the perfect mix of fun and durability! It crinkles, without the lid obnoxious noise. Highly recommend for any dog!

A perfect addition to my dog’s toy collection
Cute dog toy that is a fun toy to add to my dog’s collection especially since we live near wine country. Jameson also loves that there’s a squeaker, and started playing with it right away.

It’s been several months and all 3 still intact!
I have to be very selective because MOST toys labled recommended for “aggressive chewer” last about 20 minutes. Not kidding. These are the real deal. I’ve had these for several months now and all 3 are shockingly still completely intact and look like they did the day I got them.

Great option
Got this pack of toys for my new Great Dane puppy. He is in a very intense chewing phase and so far these are holding up. He loves that they squeak, and make a crinkly noise in the legs. I love that there is no stuffing to clean up if he manages to get it open. They way the arms move and flail really makes him love these toys. Will buy again when he needs new ones.

Great buy! My dogs love e them
My dogs love these things but don't last long with my crew. They aren't meant for aggressive chewers. Which mine are but I still buy them because my dogs love playing with them. I have one dog who is a pro at removing squeaky within 5 secs , no lie she's mastered it. Def do not leave your dog unattended. I immediately take the removed squeaky and toss it. My other dog gets the crinkle plastic out whi h I also throw away. They still play with them. I toss them when they are torn to shreds and replace them. My dogs are picky on which toys they like to play with. Which is why I keep buying them.
