Too many choices?

Be very wary of those who lament about having too many choices. Think about it. Why would anyone make such a claim? Those who have lost influence, status, ratings or money to new and more competitors certainly would like to see fewer choices, right?

Monopolies give us no choice whatsoever and where there is no competition the consumer suffers. Stood in line at the Post Office lately? Or for that matter, remember the "good old days" of the Big Three Networks?

Fortune magazine has a piece by Marc Gunther about this issue of "too many choices." It's titled, There is such a thing as too much choice. Check it out.
