Branding and Profiling

This week we discuss the power of market branding, while Emily Badger examines racial profiling.

This week’s audio newsletter from Miller-McCune includes items on:

– Missouri’s Tightwad Bank, and the travails of community banks as they attempt to chart a safe course in the perfect storm created by their bigger brethren.

– How past experiences with consumer brands solidify as we age.

– Subliminal effects of exposure to the Confederate battle flag on university students in the American South.

– How ethnic profiling of airline passengers may not be the best way to discover terrorists.
