There are social needs as well, which should be respected. The way to deal with that is to have 100% tax for wealth and income over a certain level. That takes the means to buy completely useless stuff. Then bans on advertising, heavy taxes and fines for waste and limits to working hours, pollution and so forth. Once you apply enough of that production of those products is going to go down.
