-Caveat Lector-
John Kenneth Galbraith wrote an article in the late 1940's analyzing the
"cigarette economy" of a displaced-persons camp in Germany, in which he
explored the artificial creation of demand for a scarce commodity. I can't
remember the exact citation right now; I know I read it in an anthology we
used in a macroeconomics course about twenty years ago.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
