I basically agree with you on this, if this is the question. In another
mail you said that I thought otherwise, and I have no idea how you
reached that conclusion.

However, I don't see any connection between this statement and the
question of efficiency of marketing. Analyzing the efficiency of
marketing (which happens both in market economies and planned economies)
is rather independent of the specific economic or political ideology.

Just because people have the right to do something inefficient doesn't
make it efficient.
