Crime Against Humanity: Pensée Unique in Economics, 23

There would be no brand reputation activities. Whereas with us the producers and their organisations invest much in building their reputation among the customers as a precondition for that of their products.
There would be no improvements and growth. Whereas we make discoveries and share them, which is new information, and by using it we produce improvements and growth.
There would be no issues related to information property. Whereas we do have many of them, such as laws on intellectual property and its regulation, protection, violation and licensing, in fields as diverse as plagiary in art, industrial espionage, technology aid programmes for developing countries.
There would be no import−export industry. Whereas with us the knowledge of languages, customs, laws, taxes and customs codes and duties of other countries is a valuable commodity.
There would be no salespersons, sales representatives, agents and intermediaries. Whereas with us the infomation gap between supply and demand is so vast, and bridging it so much important, that a significant percentage of us and of our resources is devoted to finding, developing, matching and assisting supply and demand in every field and any sector.
There would be no consulting industry. Whereas with us all types of specific expertise, commercial, technical and administrative, are a much valued commodity in every field and sector.
There would be no investment advisers. Whereas we do rely very much on these to know where to invest our savings.
There would be no telecommunication industry. Whereas we do rely on it to communicate, that is, to send information.
There would be no science and scientists, research and researchers. Whereas we do rely on them for the research and discovery of information on the still unknown.
There would be no lawyers and tax advisers. Whereas we tend to be forced to rely on them by more or less suppressive laws.
There would be no doctors and no professional certifications in general. Whereas we rely on doctors to take care of our health, and on professional certifications in general to ensure we are properly taken care of in many complex, specialised but crucial fields.
