Fundamentalist Consumerism and an Insane Society
#3
Capitalism promotes scarcity and feeds the fear of that beast that lurks below. Limited editions, exclusives, get it now before it is too late and other sales pitches pander to it as well as pictures of 'the poor'. We are never told how much abundance there is in the world and how easily our needs could be met with a shift in attitude/organisation/distribution. All the money is on creating fear. No money in us all getting along and having plenty to share is there?
