We are told that capitalism discovers wants that people did not realize they had and thus moves humanity forward. But it is truer to say that the market economy is sustained by the stimulation of greed and envy through advertising.
我们被告知发现资本主义的人希望人们不知道他们拥有什么，从而推动人性向好的方向发展。但是更确切的说法应该是市场经济是通过广泛宣传的贪婪和嫉妒的刺激得以维持的。在一个广告无所不在的世界中，对商品和服务的渴望是没有天然的界限的。
