Against the Grain: All Consuming (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We live our lives often through the things we buy -- presuming the more we have, the happier well be. Have we always thought this way? Economist Mark Joseph Stelzner examines the need for ever more consumption under capitalism -- and reflects on what our lives might be like if we exchanged the quest for goods for more leisure. Notes: Against the Grain is a daily program of ideas and politics, which airs three days a week, produced at KPFA Radio.
