About the book >.>.> In fact, it could be argued that both hyperconsumption (and the cathedra of consumption) were important causes of the Great Recession. Because o excessively high levels of consumption of housing, automobiles, and other consumables, people took on unsustainable levels of mortgage, automobile, Note I am not using the term recession here in its technical sense, nor am I arguing that we are not or will not move into a depression as that is defined technically. I like the phrase Great Recession because it indicates that the current economic decline is greater, and of more widespread significance, than other recessions. It is especially consequential for the concerns in this book-consumption and the ser tings in which it occurs. (LL).…

Taschenbuch.

Thoroughly updated to reflect the recent economic recession and the impact of the internet, bestselling author George Ritzer continues to explore this book's central thesis: that our society has undergone fundamental change because of the way and the level at which we consume.
