I never thought I'd defend marketing, but to say that it is based on "deceit" and that it turns people into something they aren't to buy things they don't need is a value-laden statement that grossly misunderstands human wants and needs. The Mad Men understand human nature better than Chomsky.
Capitalism is the best system to supply human needs and capacities. No other system comes close to it.
Are you kidding? I worked for IBM. They introduced the Datamaster 23 to replace the 5100. Both machines were on a table in my department. I wrote two benchmarks to test the speeds, a bubble sort and a prime numbers program. The old machine was almost twice as fast as the new one. But I never saw the term benchmark on any documentation when I was there.
It is not what you are told. It is the obviously important information that has been consistently disappeared.
41 years after the Moon landing and our capitalist economists forget to mention the depreciation of all of the consumer automobiles in the world. LOL
Try getting reliability data on all these netbooks.
If accounting had been mandatory in the schools for the last 50 years wouldn't it still be CAPITLISM? So why don't economists or educators suggest it?
