Description
Daniel Miller's book explores the complexities of consumer society and its consequences for humanity and the planet. Through his original ethnographic research, Miller proposes alternative approaches to understanding consumption and its impact.
The book challenges conventional views by examining consumption as a technology of love, clothing that sidesteps politics, and an example of localization rather than globalization. Miller argues that reversing our assumptions about the impact of consumption on citizens is crucial for addressing climate change.
