Description
In his 1983 classic The Poverty of Affluenceexamines the psychological underpinnings of our insatiable desire for growth, and endless quest for "more"-whether in jobs, relationships, or any other sphere of life-suggesting that our commitment to consumption is in fact an increasingly desperate attempt to replace the sense of community that our very growth has torn apart.
