Description

Explore the complex relationship between modern society and consumer behavior in Addictive Consumption: Capitalism, Modernity and Excess. In this book, Gerda Reith examines key theoretical concepts within the sociology of consumption to understand how our habits shape our world. By looking at how understandings of consumption problems change over time, the text provides insight into wider social and political contexts. This work uses the perspectives of thinkers like Foucault, Marx, and Bataille to investigate how identity and desire are formed through what we buy. Reith looks at the tension between excess and control, as well as the boundaries between reason and disorder. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how our current concept of normal consumption developed through historical efforts to define and regulate behavior. This book is a significant resource for those studying the sociological impact of capitalism and the evolving nature of modern excess.
