The Consumer Society by Juliet Schor
A unique and definitive read on our "national passion"--buying stuff--and its consequences for American society, this landmark work of social criticism is sure to become the standard book on the subject.

She is the author of Born to Buy, The Overworked American, and The Overspent American. Schor is senior lecturer on women's studies at Harvard University, as well as chair in the economics of leisure studies at Tilburg University in the Netherlands.
