	Short Assignment
		Before we can assess the validity of Juliet B. Schorrís argument we must first define what constitutes "consumerism." Consumerism is a type of lifestyle, one in which each participant attempts to achieve personal satisfaction through the acquisition of material objects.
		Juliet B. Schorr makes a valiant attempt to persuade us that consumerism leads to sub-optimal or inefficient outcomes, but this only holds true in the extreme cases.
		Schorr must concede that although buying a Mercedes creates some feelings of superiority, it also is a nicer ride and that alone should create some utility.

		It seems as though we have traded in both the bare necessities and the simple pleasures of life in an effort to have "more".
		However, we are often left with a deep sense of emptiness when we realize that these things don't bring true satisfaction.
		It's as though we are "moving on a stationary treadmill," says Juliet Schorr, author of The Overworked American.

	Short Assignment
		The consumerism that took root in the 1920s was premised on the idea of dissatisfaction.
		People work longer and longer hours, in order to earn more, but at the end of the day, it does not improve their overall level of well-being.
		Schorr suggests that "consumerism" generates suboptimal, or inefficient outcomes.

	Spent, by John Monczunski; Consumer package; Notre Dame Magazine Online - University of Notre Dame
		Boston College economist Juliet Schorr reports that 39 percent of those who earn between $50,000 and $100,000 and 27 percent of those who earn more than $100,000 say they cannot buy everything they need.
		We may live in the richest society on the planet, but we are also the most materially dissatisfied, she says.
		Boston College economist Schorr says the voluntary simplicity gang tends to be white, middle class, college-educated, with no children at home.

	The Overspent American: Why We Want What We Don't Need
		Unlike many experts, Harvard economist Juliet B. Schor does not blame consumers' lack of self-discipline.

		Juliet Schor has such a voice, and I'm glad she's using it.

		Despite this evidence, shortening of working time is opposed by both management and labor in the United States, by the government, and by most labor economists.
		Corporate executives, in a survey conducted by Dr. Juliet Schorr of Harvard, expressed almost unanimous agreement that working hours must be increased even more in American industry if we are to be competitive in the "global market."
		Their arguments are comparable to those made by business and industry against Henry Ford's $5-a-day wage for eight hours, introduced in 1914.

		If at one time neighbors, family members and peers were our primary objects of envy, today it is provoked by celebrities with whom we have no contact and little in common.
		We watch the way television families live, we read about the lifestyles of the celebrities and other public figures...and we consciously and unconsciously assimilate this information, and it affects us.
		It becomes a problem when the only means of fulfilling those dreams, satisfying that envy, is to cheat, steal or win the lottery.

		On a broader level, as Economist Juliet Schorr from Harvard University has pointed out, the movement to the dual-income family has eroded the base of social capital in many communities; busy people have less time for civic politics, discussion of community affairs, and the building of neighbourhood networks.

	Consumerism, Happiness and Health
		The adage that money can't buy happiness has been forgotten in our consumer society.
		Harvard University economist Juliet Schorr, author of The Overspent American, has described this "new consumerism," which equates contentment with the acquisition of material goods.
		Fueled by the technology of advertising—which seduces us with the message that who we are is tied to what we own, and that happiness is available if we spend and acquire—we are acquiring material goods at a greater rate: luxury homes, luxury cars, fancier gadgets and designer clothes.

		Depreciation is particuarly high in areas where a large section of the population is fooled by such product design and marketing, and where others find value in the used products that the more affluent users quickly disregards because it is not flashy and new.
		Juliet Schorr of the Center for the New American Dream makes similar arguments in relation to labor.
		I think the deminishing returns that Franz himself recently cited in an email demonstrates this.
