The Affluent Society


"So great has been the change that many of the desires  of the individual are no longer even evident to him. They become so only as they are synthesized, elaborated and nurtured by advertising and salesmanship, and these, in turn, have become among our most important and talented professions."
From "The Affluent Society" by economist John Kenneth Galbraith.
