"Really? They're "established and entrenched products." I think they're a pretty good analogy here.

They are completely irrelevant to this discussion.

"Even if you are established and entrenched, you still have to advertise."

He has a widely adopted product without having advertised before. If he didn't advertise before, why would he have to now?

"Paying money to each other as a fair exchange of value is how most of the world works, and it works well." Billions of people in poverty, and rising income inequality would say otherwise."

Total rubbish. In the last 40 years, the number of people in the world living in abject poverty has been more than cut in half.

Once China ended their Communist insanity, and embraced free markets in the 1980's, they've lifted 100's of millions out of poverty and they are flourishing.

I'll gather you've never worked in a business role?
