Consumerism as Worldview

Season 1 Episode 32 Published 6 years, 3 months ago
Description

Glenn introduces consumer-choice as a kind of worldview in today's show. 

Consumer choice is a fine thing when it comes to fast-food and designer clothing, but where does it end? Should we get to choose everything? Is consumer choice the apogee of freedom, or in some paradoxical way its denial and a form of slavery?

Glenn dares to say that people shouldn't get to chose certain things--their family members for instance, or their religion. When it comes to the most important things we are choosers, we're receivers. And that entails an entirely different logic.
