The illusion that consumption - and its correlative, income - is desirable probably stems from too great preoccupation with what Knight calls "one-use goods," such as food and fuel, where the utilization and consumption of the good are tightly bound together in a single act or event. . . . any economy in the consumption of fuel that enables us to maintain warmth or to generate power with lessened consumption again leaves us better off. . . . there is no great value in consumption itself.
