Very nice post, and I'll reference it when I get round to wtiring about war metaphors in international aid. They are rife.Two thoughts:First, I don't think that lawyers should (or even are) scared of taking down the blank face of corporate image, and portraying the bundle of vulnerable humans within. I've worked with corporates and governments, and I know that each is just a group of average human beings, trying to pay the rent, get laid, stave off death, be a good person, have a bit of fun along the way. Some might be less morally attractive than others, but no different than the range of people you might find at the local pub or soccer field. In fact, I get annoyed when I hear people rail against corporations or the government , because its the same objectification of groups as the Jews and the Germans. I think you're less like to sue a bunch of vulnerable people, than you are a corporation .Second, consumer is relative. It's not just now that we are all producers. We always have been. I go to the supermarket as a consumer, but use the food I buy to produce a meal for my family. My family consumers the meal, but uses it to restore their energies for going to work at school or the office, where they produce learning, the next generation of leaders, or payments on insurance claims, or whatever. They might even go to work on a farm, to produce the food, which gets fed to the supermarket, to be produce the meals that feed the farmers…The economy is a circle. Producer and consumer are two sides of a transaction. But before that transaction, the producers was someone else's consumer, and after that transaction, the consumer will in turn become producer.
