Education for Citizenship Series:
Consuming Culture and Greed

David Loy and Juliet Schor with Mark Gonnerman

Wednesday, December 3, 2008 | 7:30 – 9:00pm | Kresge Auditorium | Free and Open to All

GreedThis installment in our Education for Citizenship series on virtues and vices examines greed, a selfish and excessive desire for more than is needed. How much is enough? What enables advertisers to convince citizens to consume more than is reasonable? Are seductive images of comfort, convenience, and sexual stimulation that bombard us in advertising edging out non-market values of care, community, love, and public service? Are market values changing college campuses? Join us for a conversation that casts a critical eye on the effects of greed on individual and collective life.
