@mcdude - yes, i live in a mixed economy and am familiar with that. i'm not asking about liberal social democracies, but rather, utopian alternatives to (also utopian) free market theories. the book im reading presents a 100% rosy view of free markets-- i'm looking for a non-Keynesian alternative viewpoint just to fuck w/ the book's author. because the fucker is convincing me of everything he says, and it's a little scary, ha ha ha.

the veiled point you're making about consumer manipulation through advertising: we're not all imbeciles. people can see through marketing gimmicks and seek good return for their money. which is why pet rocks are no longer sold.
