A bleak picture of capitalism and on the other hand we could up for utopia, or in other words poverty driven by socialism. We cant confuse capitalism with a free market, they are not the same. Consumerism is a better discription of what we have today vreated in the minds of corporations and propogated by madison avenue. If people are honest, they do not no what really would make them happy, they participate in opt-in slavery to purchase items relentlessly like pavlovs dogs. People should try evaluating every purchase, every single one and not just for the present for the future too and see if it is of value. It is bad enough that you are a slave for a wage, and its worse when they control what you spend it on.
