Reviews
This book brilliantly unites dichotomized notions of ethics and consumption from a broad range of disciplines and perspective. -Helene Cherrier, Griffith University, Australia It has been widely appreciated that consumption refuses to sit comfortably within disciplinary boundaries. Too frequently the limited range of disciplines actually represented within a book hinders claims of an interdisciplinary approach. It is therefore refreshing to see an approach to the study of consumption that acknowledges and brings together the differing perspectives that leading authors from diverse fields can bring to the subject of ethics in consumption. -Matthew Higgins, University of Leicester School of Management, UK If consuming ethically is going to help solve the many social and ecological problems that humans currently face, then Ethics and Morality in Consumption is the kind of book we need: A book that provides fine literature reviews from multiple vantage points, that keeps re-situating and questioning the nature of ethical consumption, and that points to a bevy of questions that should keep scholars (and activists) busy for years to come. -Tim Kasser, Knox College, USA In a world where inequality is increasing, and endless growth is unsupportable, it is difficult to imagine a more important topic than the ethics of consumption. This thorough and comprehensive collection guides us through the ethical terrain of our possible futures, and lays out the challenges we face in imagining a sustainable consumer culture. -Richard Wilk, Indiana University, USA
