Surely plenty of lying went on there, but if you found out later your tomatoes were rotten or your donkey listless, you could go right back on the next market day and be like, WTF to the seller, plus tell all your other friends. But once the market gets too big for this to work, market*ing* as we know it starts taking place, and the message gets more and more mediated and more and more easier to manipulate.Nohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14763594227688566111noreply@blogger.com
