About this document
Understanding American Consumption Patterns by Benjamin Dalton is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document is a summary of a lecture given by Dr. Juliet B. Schor on why Americans consume so much. In the lecture, Dr. Schor argues that conventional explanations for high consumption are inadequate. She believes overconsumption in the U.S. is ecologically, socially, and financially unsustainable. Dr. Schor aims to provide more satisfying explanations by applying economic and sociological theory to analyze consumption patterns and how Americans might start consuming less.
