[ "Concisionism" ]
1: The ideology which advocates concise thought, analysis, speech, and/or writing and consumption.
* e.g., ... Concisionism advocates articulating one's feelings, and thinking, analyzing, speaking, and/or writing concisely. Its adherents believe concision is so powerful that by applying it—especially at work—a nation's Gross Domestic Product will rise because workers and other professionals will communicate faster and more effectively, thereby boosting production. Another benefit of articulating things concisely is that trimming the fat from communication leaves people more time to live and that improves the quality of life and increases the amount of pleasure people can enjoy.
The members of think tanks wonder if communicating concisely would make consumers realize that they can live concisely and consume concisely, not needing to purchase unnecessary (really unneeded) products or services; be husky, plump, or obese; and stop over-consuming and also consume less.
