Consumer Culture: Dollar Voting

Shopping.jpg

The holiday season is upon us, and local businesses are up against Ratner's Wrath...Dollar Voting is a great idea to keep in mind:

The dollar vote is a concept economists use to describe how, in a market economy, consumers effectively vote for products—as well as how those products are produced, transported, marketed and sold—by spending their dollars. Through our “consumer sovereignty” we have the power to make our preferences known, one dollar vote at a time.

Dollar Vote for your favorite non-Ratner shops and retaurants - hint: they are NOT located above the Atlantic Terminal. These are the businesses that should be "developed" not "destroyed."
