Description:
This is a book for those looking for different answers to some of today's most fundamental questions. What is a consumer society? Does being a consumer make us less authentic or more materialistic? How and why do we shop? How should we understand the economy? Is our seemingly insatiable desire for goods destroying the planet? Can we reconcile curbs on consumption with goals such as reducing poverty and social inequality?


Miller responds to these questions by proposing feasible and, where possible, currently available alternatives, drawn mainly from his own original ethnographic research. Here you will find shopping analysed as a technology of love, clothing that sidesteps politics in tackling issues of immigration. There is an alternative theory of value that does not assume the economy is intelligent, scientific, moral or immoral. We see Coca-Cola as an example of localization, not globalization. We learn why the response to climate change will work only when we reverse our assumptions about the impact of consumption on citizens. Given the evidence that consumption is now central to the way we create and maintain our core values and relationships, the conclusions differ dramatically from conventional and accepted views as to its consequences for humanity and the planet.

Fantastic foam!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Bought this so I can cut down on my trips to Starbucks and recreate those drinks "to go" at home. It works for making any kind of foam...most recently been whipping up 1/8c half n half with it and added syrups for my iced coffees I take to work. Soooooo worth the money. Starbucks quality foam (if you're not a coffee snob) at home. I now enjoy having iced coffees with salted caramel or chocolate creme cold foam that costs less than $2 to make at home versus $15 at the drive-thru. Time & money saved!

Favorite kitchen gadget!
Color: Black
I bought this for mixing powdered mixes into water, and boy do I love it. I honestly use it way more than anticipated and it works so well. I use it for everything from whisking formula to the intended purpose of frothing milk. Blends quickly and clean is easy, just put a couple of drops soap into water and turn on them rinse! Best money I've spent recently on something for the kitchen, don't even hesitate, just buy it!

Spiral portion of blender did not hold up
Color: Black
It was wonderful for 10 weeks. We used it almost daily and sometimes twice a day. It frothed quickly. It proved a satisfying blender until approx 10 weeks of use. The wire spiral on the end started to slowly wind off. It worked OK but wobbled and frothed weakly at that point. For short term use, for very infrequent use, it will be fine. Looks acceptable, easy to use. Changed the batteries one time. For the price, I am not unhappy. Have now replaced it with a more expensive one on Amazon. Thank you Amazon for giving your shoppers the opportunity to leave our feedback. It is one of your most appreciated features.
