Abstract
As the lead piece in a Colloquy entitled The First Amendment in a Commercial Culture, this article argues that, in our culture of advanced capitalism, public discourse cannot significantly be separated from the influences of commercialism. To understand the First Amendment, we must look beyond cases and commentary to the actual ways in which our culture communicates about and through commodities. We must think less about the marketplace of ideas and more about the marketing of items.
