Book Reviews of Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic (Bk Currents)
Book Review: a modern disease
Summary: 4 Stars
As the title suggests Affluenza is a modern disease to do with affluence, over-consumption and the materialistic world. The authors use numerous examples to show that affluence does not necessarily improve the quality of life but can just add to stress, information overload, traffic congestion, evaporating spare time and environmental degradation. The section on `treatments' is not quite so convincing , but by then you've got the picture anyway.
