520 8  "Consumed" offers a portrait of how adults are 
       infantilised in a global economy that overproduces goods 
       and targets children as consumers in a market where there 
       are never enough shoppers. Driven by a frantic imperative 
       to sell, consumer capitalism specialises today in the 
       manufacture not of goods but of needs. This provocative 
       culmination of Benjamin R. Barber's lifelong study of 
       democracy and capitalism shows how the infantilist ethos 
       deprives society of responsible citizens and displaces 
       public goods with private commodities. Traditional liberal
       democratic society is colonised by an all-pervasive market
       imperative. Barber confronts the likely consequences for 
       our children, our freedom and our citizenship, and shows 
       how citizens can resist and transcend the civic 
       schizophrenia with which consumerism has infected them
