Listen "10. The Consumerist Consumers"
Episode Synopsis
Today, the idea of consumerism is perceived in two contrasting ways.
One is the benevolent view of the consumer interests, consumer protection, and the power of the consumer. It emphasizes on consumers having information of the products available in the marketplace, giving them legal mechanisms to empower their participation in the marketplace etc.
The other is of consumerism being selfish, shallow, destructive, and exploitative. It is characterized as the negative force that leads people to needlessly consume more and more goods at the cost of their own and the planet’s health.
In this episode of Zero Down, we delve into the world of consumerism and how it fits into today's culture.
