Are you brand loyal?
ListenGuests: Barbara Kahn, Americus Reed and James Surowiecki
Is the power of brands in decline? Some people argue that the age of consumer loyalty to a certain brand name is over.

Baker Retailing Center at The Wharton School, AMERICUS REED, Professor of Marketing at the Wharton School, and JAMES SUROWIECKI, staff writer for The New Yorker.
