“What if we made advertising illegal?”

Many small companies would go out of business, that’s what. Yes we definitely need advertising reform, but advertising is a very important part of any business if they want to be successful. Making it illegal would cut a lot of businesses off from their potential customers. The author doesn’t seem to propose any alternative solution for this.

It would also create a lot of new businesses. So allowing advertising at the moment has killed all those businesses.
