Comment on Cleaners worth more to society than bankers by Jason

Very interesting – thanks for the find!

I’m especially curious about Galbraith’s assessment of advertising’s value in society. I like to say that advertising is a tool that can be used, or misused. Yes, it can be abhorrent (and I say this as a marketing pro myself), however without it, the price of, say, a Coke would artificially be jacked up to the highest level people could afford, since noone would be aware of the existence of Pepsi, or any other alternative choice.

Advertising is the foundation of competition, and as freedom-loving, capitalist Westerners, I think we all know where we stand on competition’s role in the economy.

We saw this back in August / Sept time… We’re liking the Muji / Lego venture that gets released on Nov 27th. http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2009/11/19/lego-for-muji-paper-and-block-sets/lego-for-muji-paper-and-block-sets-06/

Also like the new EA ‘experience’ pop-up stores where they teach you to ‘game better’ – http://www.joystiq.com/2009/11/17/ea-sports-active-stores-open-in-boston-and-san-francisco/
