There's a book called "Cute, Quaint, Hungry and Romantic" that I read a while back about consumerism and it's great. Goes a lot deeper than the standard 'people are insecure sheep who will do what you tell them' rap of most anti-consumerism books. The author's name is Daniel Harris. There should be remaindered hardcovers floating around - it's a recent paperback release. Harris is kind of a bitch, but his ideas are very compelling and well-argued.
