Affluenza When Too Much is Never Enough

The Western world is in the grip of a consumerism that is unique in human history. We overwork, we spend huge amounts on things we never use, then we chuck them out. The author of the bestselling Growth Fetish pries into our wardrobes, kitchens and backyards, and shows us what choice really means.

Clive Hamilton is the author of Growth Fetish. He is the Executive Director of The Australia Institute, Australia's foremost public interest think tank, and is described as "Australia's most amazing economist." He has held visiting positions at the Australian National University, the University of Sydney and the University of Cambridge. Richard Denniss is Deputy Director of the Australia Institute. He has taught economics at the University of Newcastle and was Chief of Staff to Senator Natasha Stott Despoja.
