While consumers are recognized as valuing market goods and services
for the activities they can construct from them in the frameworks
of several disciplines, consequences of the characteristics of
goods and services they use in these activities have not been well
studied. In this book, knowledge-yielding and conventional goods
and services are contrasted as factors in the construction of
activities that consumers engage in when they are not in the
workplace. Consumers are seen as deciding on non-work activities
and the inputs to these activities according to their objectives,
and the values and accumulated skills they hold. It is suggested
that knowledge content in these activities can be efficient for
consumer objectives and also have important externalities through
its effect on productivity at work and economic growth. The
exposition seeks to elaborate these points and contribute to
multi-disciplinary dialogue on consumption. Introduction: Consuming
