Consumption and the Globalization Project: International Hegemony and the Annihilation of Time

By Edward A. Comor

Comor assesses consumption as a core but contradictory nodal point in contemporary world (dis)order developments arguing that capitalist consumption facilitates efforts to rule through consent.
