Inhaltsangabe

The phenomenon of consumption has increasingly drawn attention from economists. While the ’sole purpose of production is consumption’, as Adam Smith has claimed, economists have, up to recently, generally ignored the topic. This book brings together a range of different perspectives on the topic of consumption that will finally shed the necessary light on a largely neglected theme.
