A powerful sequel to Benjamin R. Barber's best-selling Jihad vs.
McWorld, Consumed offers a vivid portrait of a global economy that
overproduces goods and targets children as consumers in a market
where there are never enough shoppers-and where the primary goal is
no longer to manufacture goods but needs. Disturbing, provocative,
and compelling, this book examines phenomena as seemingly disparate
as adolescent fashion trends for adults, megachurches, declining
voter participation, the privatization of the public sphere,
branding, and the rise of online shopping to show how the freedoms
of the free market have undermined the freedoms of the deliberative
adult citizen. Barber brings together extensive empirical research
with an original theoretical framework for understanding our
contemporary predicament.
