Given advertising and PR, do consumers actually make free choices?
Do consumers have the costs of their choices spelled out clearly, or are they hidden and deferred as externalities under the false pretence that neither customers nor anyone they know will ever have to worry about them?
How accurately do market costs include physical, ecological, environmental, and political/social costs?
Is a system that cannot accurately present costs to consumers without interpreting them through its own value system actually credible and trustworthy?
