How Consumer Culture Grows : The Eigendynamik of Consumption
(2025) Consumer Culture Theory Conference 2025- Abstract
- The current climate crisis has generated social pressure to slow consumption down. Despite this, consumer culture is continuously developing and growing. How is this possible? Our paper provides theoretical clues to this question by developing a novel model of thought for consumption growth, based on Georg Simmel’s notion of Eigendynamik.
