Professor Mark J. Perry's Blog for Economics and Finance
This is the season of frenetic shopping, but for a devious few people it’s also the season of spirited shopdropping.
Dr. Mark J. Perry is a professor of economics and finance in the School of Management at the Flint campus of the University of Michigan. Perry holds two graduate degrees in economics (M.A. and Ph.D.) from George Mason University near Washington, D.C. In addition, he holds an MBA degree in finance from the Curtis L. Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. In addition to a faculty appointment at the University of Michigan-Flint, Perry is also a visiting scholar at The American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C.

Ah, yes. Nothing like a self absorbed, self important "artist" with a superior sense of bringing his 'enlightenment" to the unwashed masses. Jerks.
None of the artists described their goals or audience with the condescension that you describe. Rather, those who shopdrop out of a desire to communicate rather than a desire to promote, are interested in having a conversation, not a sermon. I'd gladly welcome a moment of humor, of beauty or of critical reflection to unsettle my own routine shopping experience.
