admass
"Term coined by J.B.Priestly in 1955 for an entire economic, social, and cultural system dominated and saturated by the drive to consume material goods, a drive reflecting the illusory world of the advertising copy-writer's ad and obsessively promoted through the mass media. The fruits of such a system are a glittering consumer society which stifles creativity and individuality, and distorts real human feelings, needs, and emotions". --Peter S.Leuner (in The Fontana Dictionary of Modern Thought , 1977).
