A unique culture has been created in which marketing is the main social bond. Values no longer shape and condition needs, wants, desires, or preferences. Leiss draws on economics, psychology, sociology, and anthropology to show the vagueness of our thought on the relation between nature and culture, desire and reason, needs and commodities. This book raises serious, vital questions for all those concerned about the future of our present society.Raw materialsSupply and demandCommodity controlRaw materials.Supply and demand.Commodity control.333.8Leiss William1939-48748MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782187503321The limits to satisfaction3761018UNINA
