She cites Mocarelli et al. Leonard also quotes what Victor Lebow said in 1955 regarding economic growth: "Our enormously productive economy... demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption... we need things consumed, burned up, replaced and discarded at an ever-accelerating rate."
O documental tamén cita o que Vítor Lebow dixo en 1955: "A nosa economía enormemente produtiva... pide que fagamos do consumo a nosa forma de vida, que convertamos a compra e uso dos bens nun ritual, que busquemos a nosa satisfacción espiritual, a nosa satisfacción do ego, en consumo... nós necesitamos que as cousas se consuman, se queimen, se reempracen e se tiren ao lixo cunha velocidade sempre maior."
