The Shadows Of Consumption : Consequences For The Global Environment

  • The Shadows Of Consumption : Consequences For The Global  Environment
  • Attribution

    Peter Dauvergne
  • Publication Details

    Book, MIT Press, 2008
  • Description

    The Shadows of Consumption gives a hard-hitting diagnosis: many of the earth’s ecosystems and billions of its people are at risk from the consequences of rising consumption. In The Shadows of Consumption, Peter Dauvergne maps the costs of consumption that remain hidden in the shadows cast by globalized corporations, trade, and finance. More crucial than our individual efforts to reuse and recycle will be reforms in the global political economy to reduce the inequalities of consumption and correct the imbalance between growing economies and environmental sustainability.

The Marketplace Of Revolution : How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence

  • The Marketplace Of Revolution : How Consumer Politics  Shaped American Independence
  • Attribution

    T.H. Breen
  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2005
  • Description

    The boycott movement–the signature of American resistance–invited colonists traditionally excluded from formal political processes to voice their opinions about liberty and rights within a revolutionary marketplace, an open, raucous public forum that defined itself around subscription lists passed door-to-door, voluntary associations, street protests, destruction of imported British goods, and incendiary newspaper exchanges. The Marketplace of Revolution explains how at a moment of political crisis Americans gave political meaning to the pursuit of happiness and learned how to make goods speak to power.
