Description
The Society of Consumption is an apt description of our modern-day slavery, a slavery of boundless consumption, to which the discourse of the contemporary Western world is unconditionally subordinated.
The Society of Consumption is one of the fundamental works of contemporary sociology. In terms of its significance, it ranks among works such as Durkheim's The Division of Labor in Society, Veblen's The Theory of the Leisure Class, or David Riesman's The Lonely Crowd.
The Society of Consumption shows with piercing clarity how large technocratic corporations evoke desires that cannot be resisted and create a new social hierarchy that has replaced former class distinctions.
