Description

In Addictive Consumption: Capitalism, Modernity and Excess, Gerda Reith provides an engaging exploration of theoretical concepts within the sociology of consumption. This Routledge publication investigates how understandings of consumption problems change over time and what these shifts reveal about our social and political environments. By drawing on the foundational ideas of thinkers like Foucault, Marx, and Bataille, Reith examines the relationship between consumption and addiction. The text explores complex themes regarding identity and desire, excess and control, and reason and disorder. Readers will gain insight into how our modern concept of "normal" consumption developed through specific historical efforts. This book is an essential resource for those studying the sociological connections between economic systems and human behavior.
