Beyond the Consumption Bubble
«
"Beyond the Consumption provides an insightful and incisive analysis of the social, cultural, economic, and ecological ramifications of an all-consuming, consumer-driven global economy. Through cogent reflections on a broad but interlinked nexus of issues, the authors in this volume deftly investigate consumption as manifested in everyday life and intertwined into broader socio-political structures, imploding many cultural clichés and entrenched ideological dogmas along the way. This book is must reading for anyone interested in understanding the complex ways in which consumption has profoundly shaped society and what societies can do to reconfigure consumption into more sustainable and socially redemptive forms." - Craig J. Thompson, Churchill Professor of Marketing, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA
