11. Marketing has transformed itself into a
sophisticated, pervasive force that extends into
every part of our lives. Slick advertising
campaigns are designed for the express purpose
of manipulating children into buying products and
training them to become mindless consumers of
goods they don't really want. The Nag factor, a
marketing study that evaluated the effect of
nagging, was designed to teach children how to nag
more effectively. Consumers are made, not born.

5. Case histories can be used to diagnose the kind
of personality that makes the corporation
an externality-creating machine. Externalities
such as harm to employees through the use
of sweatshops: the exploitation of Third World
countries' employees resulting in a huge
discrepancy of price versus cost. Other
externalities such as pollution and adverse health
effects emerge. These include the genesis of the
petrochemical industry and links to
cancer, birth defects and other toxic effects.
Another externality is harm to the biosphere
or the environmental costs resulting from the way
corporations operate, costs that will be
passed off to future generations. Have we created
a doom machine?
