1955 J. B. PRIESTLEY & J. HAWKES Journey down Rainbow iii. 51 Admass. This is my name for the whole system of an increasing productivity, plus inflation, plus a rising standard of material living, plus high-pressure advertising and salesmanship, plus mass communications, plus cultural democracy and the creation of the mass mind, the mass man.
Sadly, we’ve lost all this but the high-pressure advertising.
