Consumerism is the term given to the modern preoccupation with the acquisition of consumer goods. Due to today's globalized economic systems, how and what you buy has repercussions that impact people all over the world. This book examines the fundamental questions surrounding the issue of consumerism today, including: When did consumerism begin? Why do businesses advertise? Are children affected by consumerism? And how does consumerism affect poorer countries?
