Meh. I think that the world would be made a much better place if there was less emphasis by the population on consuming goods and crapping cash.
Not that I have a problem with making a buck (who here does?) but I figure people would be a lot happier if they weren't being crushed by the whole 'deutchemark uber alles' thing.
Take a look at the majority of people in north america, for instance... a few decades ago they were doing pretty good: couple weeks vacation a year, weekends off, workday ending at 5 so they could go spend some quality time with the family / barflies / superbowl / whatever... nowadays people have to work 60 hour weeks just to stay afloat, never mind getting ahead, weekends shot, families neglected...
... is that freedom?
Being on the freedom wagon is all well and good. Just make sure what you offer as freedom isn't just another brand of slavery.
