More about the book
The book explores the transition from a society focused on production to one centered on consumption, highlighting how this shift redefines poverty. Bauman argues that in a consumer-driven society, being poor is increasingly tied to one's ability to participate in consumer culture rather than merely unemployment. This change alters the experience of poverty and the potential solutions to alleviate it. The new edition includes updated insights and analyses, making it a vital resource for understanding contemporary social dynamics and challenges related to poverty.
