Of course I'm only kidding here, but the main problem with the free
market system is that it depends on on a certain amount of growth.
If people became less mterialistic or even decided that Christmas is
stupid (which it is) we would enter a depression. Guess what, you
can't live like that. Continuous growth is not sustainable in any
case.
