Ethan Porter

Recenzje

In an academically rigorous and delightfully relevant way, Ethan Porter argues that our lives as consumers and our lives as citizens have converged. As a result, he shows that the rules that help us navigate the supermarket are often applied to the far choppier waters of the political world. While some may see this as a cause for celebration and others for deep concern, its recognition should spark long overdue consideration about the nature of our multiple roles in society, and that way we seek and find meaning across them.
