For London, who was keen on finding a solution to the economic crisis and a remedy for mass unemployment, programmed obsolescence was a ‘scrapping premium’ type of practice that needed to be systematized. His advocacy for forced consumption aimed not so much the prosperity of capitalists as the well-being of the masses. If the philanthropic intentions of the author are unquestionable, his project shows a total ignorance, typical of his time, of the environmental consequences of this type of systematic waste.
