Nice article ! One comment : on the "Selling Time Over Money" part, it seems to me that some business manage to do the opposite. Take Ikea, for instance. Typically you buy some furniture there, hoping to spend little money in exchange of giving up your sunday afternoon precious time. If you take into account the time spent assembling the furniture, with a reasonable hourly rate, some furnitures there are not so cheap anymore.

The Ikea business implies that sometimes we prefer money over time.

That's a really good point, and I guess IKEA often uses their low prices in their advertising. Wal-Mart does the same.
