Mslack and Dan.Linehan, I found your points very interesting.
What if the next step up for someone purchasing a car were a huge gas guzzler? Does the money that sends through the system (again, to whom?) benefit the lower ranks of society or merely those who already have the wealth?
And no, I don't think personal development implies materialism at all. I was surprised to hear you suggest that, Shamou. I think it's about being better people.
Steve, you said that a couple of years ago you would have thought differently. What would that Steve have said to the arguments you make now?
