The Overspent American: Why We Want What We Don't Need
ISBN: 9780060977580 / Angielski / Miękka / 2024 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Overspent American explores why so many of us feel materially dissatisfied, why we work staggeringly long hours and yet walk around with ever-present mental "wish lists" of things to buy or get, and why Americans save less than virtually anyone in the world. Unlike many experts, Harvard economist Juliet B. Schor does not blame consumers' lack of self-discipline. Nor does she blame advertisers. Instead she analyzes the crisis of the American consumer in a culture where spending has become the ultimate social art.

Do Americans Shop Too Much?
ISBN: 9780807004432 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Juliet Schor breaks a taboo by exposing Americans' shopping habits to moral society. Schor disapproves of unfettered private consumption, not only because we already use up so much, but also because overspending to bolster a sense of self does not lead to happiness. Along with her critique, Schor suggests intriguing ideas for making 'status' goods accessible for all--for example, imposing high taxes on expensive items to subsidize lines of affordable 'luxury' goods. A firestorm of responses follow from economist Robert Frank and others.
