13. WHY AUTHENTICITY—AND WHY NOW? BECAUSE OF THE SHIFT TO THE EXPERIENCE ECONOMY. GOODS AND SERVICES ARE NO LONGER ENOUGH; WHAT CONSUMERS WANT TODAY ARE EXPERIENCES—MEMORABLE EVENTS THAT ENGAGE THEM IN AN INHERENTLY PERSONAL WAY. AS PAID-FOR EXPERIENCES PROLIFERATE, PEOPLE NOW DECIDE WHERE AND WHEN TO SPEND THEIR MONEY AND THEIR TIME—THE CURRENCY OF EXPERIENCES—AS MUCH IF NOT MORE THAN THEY DELIBERATE ON WHAT AND HOW TO BUY (THE PURVIEW OF GOODS AND SERVICES). BUT IN A WORLD INCREASINGLY FILLED WITH DELIBERATELY AND SENSATIONALLY STAGED EXPERIENCES—AN INCREASINGLY UNREAL WORLD—CONSUMERS CHOOSE TO BUY OR NOT BUY BASED ON HOW REAL THEY PERCEIVE AN OFFERING TO BE. BUSINESS TODAY, THEREFORE, IS ALL ABOUT BEING REAL. ORIGINAL. GENUINE. SINCERE. AUTHENTIC.

44. Will the forces of suburbanization–now sprawling and malling their way into town–tame the raucous metropolis, subdue its contrarian politics, make of it just another outlet for Disneyfied culture, big-box commerce, and franchise food? Or is something altogether new busy being born at the contested urban-suburban frontier?
