This is sort of what I meant. We work primarily in a market economy. If it doesn't fit into this model, it will have a hard time fitting at all. From this system people find out their information, learn what's good and what's not, and ultimately are influenced by it. The Internet, billboards, magazines, television, newspapers, word of mouth--it's hard to think for yourself when there are no filters (or, should I say, too many?).
Profits make the world go 'round, which is why I'm thinking we will need a great and reactionary shift when (or if) the shit hits the fan. People were efficient during the Depression for a reason.
