Tools of Engagement: The New Practice of User-Centered Design, by Robert Fabricant
Many threads from your poignant post have been unfurling for months if not years of course, to the point we have seen two camps emerging.
One points to the inevitable rise of a more social value system of design and productivity, the other takes the neo-classical stance that fears any intrusion on personal freedom of choice.
It's become a philosophical discussion in fact, overlapping with the justice and free market arguments put forward by people like Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen and Reith Lecturer Michael Sandel. Perhaps then a Philosophy of Design now needs to emerge, before we can go much further?
nice post!
