Consumerism as Folk Religion: Transcendence, Probation and Dissatisfaction with Capitalism
Studies in Christian Ethics 28 (4):447-460 (2015)
Abstract
Consumerism will be understood as a ‘folk religion’, as a contemporary everyday way to make sense of and deal with transcendence. Contrary to longstanding critiques I will argue that consumerism also carries an ethical potential that comes into conflict with the results of the capitalist order of productionMy notes
