'The Tragedy of Waste' (1929; reprinted in 1937 by MacMillan) by economist Stuart Chase is an old classic. > Sometime in the 1980s I either read or read about a book that examined > the wastefulness of capitalism, not about the environment but for > example the existence of industries for which there is really no need, > like advertising, public relations, corporate law, etc. Plus, the > duplication of so many financial services that could be dispensed from > a single source; the existence of competing products that are > identical except for the packaging (aspirin, detergent, etc.) > > The book I am looking for is very specifically related to this so ones > that it sounds close to are not really relevant to my needs (like "The > Affluent Society", for example.) _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
