From the Paper:

"America has become the essence of the free enterprise model. This difference in culture from the rest of the world is readily visible in the way in which American corporations do business: by focusing on quantity and producing efficiently as opposed to producing a refined quality product. Advertising is in essence the mass promotion of mass produced products, and has become the primary way to communicate and educate consumers about products. This results in a continued drive, at every level, for more material wealth. Mass promotion has become a science, that is effectively making every American a consumer. "
