The Dependence Effect (as published in the Consumer Society)
Author(s)Galbraith, John Kenneth
AbstractFrom one of the classic critiques of consumer society, this selection explains why conventional economic theory has so little to say about the origins and importance of consumer demand. It offers an alternative perspective in which production itself gives rise to demand for the goods that are produced.
