What if we banned all advertising? Not regulate it—abolish it. This proposal would transform manipulation machines, and maybe save democracy itself. A thought experiment worth considering.
I always had this idea since I was a kid, that there would be a single central register of all goods and services in existence and who offers them near you and at what price. Basically the truly transparent market economists always pretend exists. That would be the proper, and only, place to advertise.

That reminds me of when we used to use the phone book.
