There is no way to fix this, just as there is no way to repeal the law of supply and demand. The communists failed miserably and not only that, made things worse. But even though they failed at a solution, they identified many of the problems.
But there is a solution that might make things better, using the market itself and by using education and research to try and determine how the market works so we can better coexist with it. Right now there is a lot of research, even entire college Bus Ad and Marketing departments, to help it work better for the producers, but any attempt to try to make it easier on the consumers is treated with suspicion and accusations of "socialism". Maybe that's why the Techster is so down on Consumer Reports and Vance Packard.
