Do we live in a post-phallic era?

While pretending to fiercely fight against counterfeiting, the capitalist system actually draws huge benefits from it. Indeed, by spreading luxury trademarks, doesn’t counterfeiting pay an immense tribute to the system it is pirating? Contemporary passion for logos along with large-scale consumption of counterfeit luxury goods, particularly fashionable ones, lead me, relying on Lacan’s concept of sex and on several examples, to contemplate the hypothesis of a mass fetishism in our post-phallic era.
