More about the book
Focusing on the interplay between consumption and personal identity, this book presents a sociological analysis that challenges traditional views. It examines how everyday consumption shapes social positions and influences environmental sustainability. By employing theories of practice, the author argues that consumption should be understood through the organization of daily activities rather than merely the buying of goods. This critical review of social scientific research highlights the moral implications and broader significance of consumption in contemporary society.
