It is generally considered that the
consumption is the logical result of all

obvious that the level of the future
consumption depends on the future
capital stock, and this in turn depends on
the current level of production in the
capital-goods sector. Hence if there is a
desire to increase the consumption, the
output of the capital goods should be
maximized. EconomicJournal. Mar66,

Counterfeit consumer goods - International
Countries like Nigeria fight brand
piracy on a national level but the
penalties are dwarfed by the earnings
outlook for counterfeiters: As grievous
as this crime is, which is even worse
than armed robbery, the penalty is like
a slap on the palm, the most ridiculous
of which is a fine of 50,000 naira ($307)

Counterfeit consumer goods - Internet Shopping Sites
Major internet shopping sites, such as
Amazon.com, ebay.com, and Alibaba.com,
provide complaint pages where listings of
counterfeit goods can be reported. The
reporter must show that it owns the
intellectual property (e.g. trademark,
patent, copyright) being presented on the
counterfeit listings. The shopping site will
then do an internal investigation and if it
agrees, it will take the counterfeit listing
