A New Reality: government and the IPOD generation
This report suggests some ways that politics can connect up with IPODs. It draws on the latest research into young people's attitudes in general and into successful consumer relationships, including branding.

This describes the approach as an attempt to combine the economic performance and flexibility of liberal welfare states with the social protection and equality of Scandinavian countries.
