Description
Drawing on insights from economics, psychology, sociology, and cultural studies, this book delves into the historical and cultural roots of our consumerist culture, tracing its origins to the Industrial Revolution and the rise of mass production. It explores the role of advertising and social media in shaping our desires and creating a culture of dissatisfaction and envy.
The book also analyzes the environmental and social costs of our insatiable consumption, highlighting the widening inequality gap, the exploitation of workers and natural resources, and the degradation of the planet. It argues that our current economic system, based on perpetual growth and the accumulation of wealth, is fundamentally unsustainable and needs to be transformed.
Through a series of thought-provoking chapters, the book explores alternative ways of thinking about consumption, value, and well-being. It offers a vision of a more just and sustainable future, where our economies are designed to meet the needs of all people, not just the wealthy few, and where our relationship with the natural world is one of respect and stewardship.
This book is essential reading for anyone who is concerned about the future of our planet and the well-being of our societies. It is a call to action for a more sustainable and fulfilling way of life, one that is based on values of sufficiency, community, and care for the environment.
