Of course, in a perfect free market, producers will simply produce what the consumers desire. That is not to say that producers (and governments) do not have ways and means to influence consumers' desires, but then there is no such thing as the perfect free market.

On the whole, however, I would say that, just as we get the press that we deserve, we get the books that we deserve.
