    This is a nice, succinct way of explaining how we got to where we are. The connection the infographic makes between declining trust levels and the increasing need for “expert” sales people is particularly helpful. Great work!

    Hey, you missed the first half of the XX century, the period when everything and anything worked, the golden age of manipulation and selling cigarettes to mothers, because the respective brands ‘were most used by their doctors’. Sadly, it was the time when big fortunes were made, and most blue chip companies appeared. With few exceptions most household names now are the same as they were back in the 20’s.
