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. 606 $aRaw materials 606 $aSupply and demand 606 $aCommodity control 615 0$aRaw materials. 615 0$aSupply and demand. 615 0$aCommodity control. 676 $a333.8 700 $aLeiss$b William$f1939-$048748 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782187503321 996 $aThe limits to satisfaction$93761018 997 $aUNINA
