Über diesen Titel

Aja Barber wants change.

In the 'learning' first half of the book, she will expose you to the endemic injustices in our consumer industries and the uncomfortable history of the textile industry; one which brokered slavery, racism and today's wealth inequality. And how these oppressive systems have bled into the fashion industry and its lack of diversity and equality. She will also reveal how we spend our money and whose pockets it goes into and whose it doesn't (clue: the people who do the actual work) and will tell her story of how she came to learn the truth.

In the second 'unlearning' half of the book, she will help you to understand the uncomfortable truth behind why you consume the way you do. She asks you to confront the sense of lack you have, the feeling that you are never quite enough and the reasons why you fill the aching void with consumption rather than compassion. And she makes you challenge this power disparity and take back ownership of it. The less you buy into the consumer culture the more power you have.

Consumed will teach you how to be a citizen not a consumer.

This was such a good book to listen to. I love Aja's work, she is straight to the point, funny, thought provoking and this is just overall a great read/listen for people who are starting to get interested in the impact our consumption has on th planet and the people on it. I'd still also recommend it to people who have been interested in the topic for some time.
I just recommend it to basically everyone. It's just so good!
don't read my shit review, listen to Aja Barber tell you about the big Cs!

So good!
