ABSTRACT

Much design activist work, whether implicitly or explicitly, confronts problems that result from consumerism and economic growth. This is an underlying premise for the book, which connects social change through design activism to the broad idea that we need to move away from consumerism and growth as a central organizing principle in society. Although growth and consumerism are not, perhaps, the root of every social or environmental problem, there is arguably no problem that they don’t exacerbate.
