Description
You Need This explores how consumerism emerged from the unbridled optimism of 1950s America and evolved into a global system shaping our desires, identities, and behaviors. Conditioning the population to find meaning and status through endless consumption, this insatiable machine depletes our environment, strains our social bonds, and damages our well-being.
