In the Marketplace of Ideas B. W. Beath If you were to wander through the marketplace of ideas, would the experience be like strolling through one of the arcades of Paris that so fascinated Baudelaire and Benjamin, regarding the goods on display, assessing them, making selections, taking your selections home, making use of them, making them yours? Or would you find that the ideas in the marketplace are like attractively packaged, cleverly marketed, branded and trademarked, seductive, beguiling, bedazzling, and befuddling toys, and that the marketplace of ideas is a labyrinthine arcade where you would roam like a child in a vast toy store, dazzled by the tempting choices that surround you, besotted by the plenitude, paralyzed by indecision?
