Dette begrepet har jeg hørt før, men i boka “Feral” av George Monbiot var det avsnitt med både opphavsmann og en god beskrivelse (s. 154):

They become norms, adopted whole and unexamined, which shape our thinking. Perhaps we suffer from agricultural hegemony: what is deemed to be good for farmers and landowners is deemed, whitout question or challenge, to be good for everyone.
