Rubbish is something we ignore. By definition we discard it, from
our lives and our minds, and it remains outside the concerns of
conventional economics. However, this book explores the dynamics
through which rubbish can re-enter circulation as a prized
commodity, in many cases far exceeding its original value.
Antiques, vintage cars and period homes, after being discarded as
valueless, can, even after many years, become priceless. First
published in 1979, Rubbish Theory has become foundational in its
field. Today, it is as relevant as ever. This edition includes a
new afterword revealing how the consequences of our compulsion to
discard are far from inevitable, and going on to explore how we can
transform our troublesome wastes into valuable resources.
