In theory, everybody buys the best and cheapest commodities offered him on the market. In practice, if every one went around pricing, and chemically testing before purchasing, the dozens of soaps or fabrics or brands of bread which are for sale, economic life would become hopelessly jammed.

There is consequently a vast and continuous effort going on to capture our minds in the interest of some policy or commodity or idea.
