In the factory we make cosmetics, at the counter we sell hope.

… Charles Revson, founder of Revlon Cosmetics.

The elements of human nature at greater or lesser degree go into establishing every market and the value of every product, that is part of what makes economics the "dismal" science.

That is utter nonsense. Gold is used in electronics and jewelry, among other things. It has a use and a value much the same oil does. Or do you think the price(value) of oil is purely psychological too?
