"Climate change, water shortages, and toxins in our food, air, and water. Loneliness and depression. Erosion of traditional values. These are among the problems that experts tell us we must solve for humanity to thrive, or even survive. However, these threats are symptoms of a deeper pathology, namely the desire for endless growth in consumption and the substitution of material goods for human relationships. This book sets out theory to understand how this came to be and what might be done about it, from an explicitly multidisciplinary perspective. The book also provides compelling accounts of exciting experiments in sustainable consumption now underway as people around the world seek to live within the limits of our finite planet, and in so doing, restore and heal our environment, our institutions, our communities, and ourselves." – John D. Sterman, Jay W. Forrester Professor of Management and Director of the System Dynamics Group, Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
"This fine collection focuses on the relationship between consumption and satisfaction, demonstrating how the economic culture of consumerism causes ecological damage, wasteful use of resources, and mindless yearning for distinction that is mistaken as the utter enjoyment of "freedom." The book explores examples and strategies of "interstitial" change unfolding in the niches of consumer societies, the pursuit of which is driven by both economic crises affecting households and radical ideas of socioeconomic change as well as change of lifestyles. With a balanced focus on both novel practices of consumption and the policies needed to facilitate and nurture them, this volume maps roads toward post-consumerism." – Claus Offe, Professor Emeritus of Political Sociology, Hertie School of Governance, Germany

"If we want a sustainable and healthy environment, it is essential to shift decisively from a hyper-consumerist society. However, we live in a capitalist economy and stable capitalism depends on consumerism. What is to be done in the face of such a sharp contradiction?　Social Change and the Coming of Post-consumer Society　explores a wide range of approaches to this question. This book marks an important contribution to this area of inquiry. " – Erik Olin Wright, Professor of Sociology, University of Wisconsin and former President of the American Sociological Association, USA

"How do we transform political and economic structures in order to allow everyone to live meaningful lives with less intensive forms of consumption? Where do we start, and who will do the job? These are defining questions during an era of secular stagnation and impending climate disaster, and this book provides an important contribution in the quest for viable solutions." – Giorgos Kallis, ICREA Professor, ICTA-Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain

"Based on multiple case studies and theories of change, this book argues that the foundational pillars of consumer society are faltering. Drawing on a shared set of theories—from transition management to Karl Polanyi’s embeddedness theorems—the volume contends that without deep changes in macroeconomic and political orientations, and mechanisms that escape current lock-ins, it will not be possible to achieve broad sociocultural change. The message is not of certainty or desperation, but rather of hope. By appealing to deeper values, broad change is possible. A must read for activists as much as for sustainability and consumption researchers." – Joachim Spangenberg, Vice-Chair, Sustainable Europe Research Institute, Germany

"Susanne Lundin does a wondrous job of uncovering the ethically fractured world of human organ sales on a global scale. Lundin is a gifted ethnographer, and her keen eye, balanced approach, and moral sensitivity are evident on every page. Not since Dorothy Nelkin and Lori Andrews published Body Bazaar (2001) have we had such an accessible and deeply nuanced portrayal of the moral challenges, dilemmas, and circumventions that plague entwined clinical and social realms where human body parts are understood as scarce commodities essential to saving the lives of some while placing others at grave risk. This is, unquestionably, both important and dangerous research that exposes themes of longing and desire, economic desperation, coercion, medical violence, fear, and death among organ buyers, sellers, and activists in a host of nations and across several continents. Indeed, non-Swedish speakers are most fortunate to have access to this translation by Anne Cleaves of Lundin's heart-rending ethnographic odyssey, one that tracks the global proliferation of transplant tourism, commerce, and trafficking in the twenty-first century." - Lesley A. Sharp, Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Anthropology, Barnard College, USA, and Senior Research Scientist in Sociomedical Sciences, Columbia University, USA.
