The popularity of the free market rests largely on its demonstrated ability to best fulfill our desires. Preference Pollution takes the position that, while goods are indeed well served by market forces, such forces fail to create the desires that we wish to have. Further, David George argues, economists' definitions of efficiency can be used to demonstrate that the market in fact disregards people's desires about their desires--otherwise known as second-order preferences. The success of fast food is one example: many people know that it is not particularly healthy, but they eat it anyway.
