Affluenza

The All-consuming Epidemic, Revised Edition

BY JOHN DEGRAFF, DAVID WANN, THOMAS NAYLOR

Brief Description:
Affluenza uses the whimsical metaphor of a disease to tackle a very serious subject: the damage done - to our health, our families, our communities, and our environment - by the obsessive quest for material gain. In cleverly titled chapters like "Swollen Expectations" and "A Rash of Bankruptcies," the authors examine the origins, evolution, and symptoms of the affluenza epidemic. Yet they also explore cures and suggest strategies for rebuilding families and communities and for restoring and respecting the earth.
