The Interdisciplinary Science of Consumption
Angebote / Angebote:
Our drive to consume¿our desire for food, clothing, smart phones, and megahomes¿evolved from our ancestors¿ drive to survive. But the psychological and neural processes that originally evolved to guide mammals toward resources that are necessary but scarce may mislead us in modern conditions of material abundance. Such phenomena as obesity, financial bubbles, hoarding, and shopping sprees suggest a mismatch between our instinct to consume and our current environment. This volume brings together research from psychology, neuroscience, economics, marketing, animal behavior, and evolution to explore the causes and consequences of consumption.
