Wright (law, Samford U.) attacks the common American notion that the spread of commercialization is a natural manifestation of freedom and the pursuit of well-being. Topics include the constitutional arguments related to commercial free speech law, the influence of so-called controversial ads, the commercialization of the Internet, and the impact of advertising on various demographic groups. Wright concludes that commercial speech is overprotected, and that only in the case of the poor are commercial getting and spending correlated with well-being.
