[lbo-talk] advertising and marxism

[Wojtek S]

Charles: "can't get around the fact that the mass of
wage laborers are only paid so much, and it is always less than enough
to buy all the consumer commodities which they produce"

[WS:] Did not they try to "get around" this by expanding credit
availability to the mass of wage laborers and, one may add,
homeowners?  And it worked for a while with fabulous results-
capitalists made like bandits.  Of course, there is the question of
how long it will work, but as Keynes commented, in the long run we are
all dead.  Nothing stops the future generations from playing this
musical chair game again.
