PART II of Commodify Your Dissent traces the evolution of corporate managerial ideology from the decline of Scientific Management and traditional authority to the rise of entrepreneurialism and postmodern business paradigms that embrace uncertainty and frenetic change. It critiques the commodification of dissent and identity through corporate rituals, immersive consumer culture, and pervasive advertising that saturates public and private spaces, transforming social relations and individual subjectivity into continuous marketing events. The chapter also exposes the ideological synthesis of corporate discipline with American values, the manipulation of psychological assessments in hiring, and the redefinition of social class through consumer identity within a totalizing corporate culture.
