Cultures of Consumption: from Hard Work to Hyper-Consumption

Wednesday, March 3, 10:10 am - 11:10 am

Stephen Lippmann, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor

This lecture will trace the ideological underpinnings of capitalism from its
emergence, as considered as considered by Max Weber in the Protestant Ethic

characterized by the replacement of asceticism with hyper-consumption.
