"One of the current economys problems is also that advertising and such creates otherwise frivoulous needs that prodeucts can be marketed for. "
This is an excellent summation of a point that gets bandied about a lot in certain circles. Do you mind if I shamelessly steal this?
It's all yours, my friend
This is also a good counter point to how market does serve good, but good is made to serve the market. That is if you choose your nominal ultimate goals so that a spesific intrumental goal is the chosen method to archieve it, the nominally instrumental goal is your main objective. In that way sellers don't want to serve the customers needs they just want them to be okay on chipping in the money because they are perfectly satisfied on creating a new problem for the customers so that they can sell cures for them.
