The consumption of our discontent
研究了可持续消费作为可持续发展的关键因素,探讨了持续经济增长与转向工作休闲平衡的生活方式之间的利益冲突,指出许多人对这种转变感兴趣,但可能被从“组织化的不满”中获利的利益集团阻碍。
Abstract The concept of ‘sustainable consumption’ is gaining interest as a key factor of sustainable development. This evokes issues of vested interests in continued economic growth versus change in lifestyle towards a less consumptive balance of work and leisure. It is shown that such a development is attractive to many people. It may still be stalled by various interest groups who actually thrive on an ‘organized dissatisfaction’.
