The story of stuff

There are many interesting and challenging ways to look at our shocking consumer society. This is one of them. I was particularly struck by the statement of intent by the US in the 1950s to establish consuming as the ultimate purpose of their country. Well, they succeeded; it's a shame they didn't choose something else more ... more humane, as their ultimate purpose. Maybe it's not too late, even though there are few signs of any change of strategy in Bali.
