Consumerism as a social and economic order and ideology encourages the acquisition of goods and services in ever-increasing amounts. In the domain of economics, “consumerism” refers to economic policies placing emphasis on consumption. In an abstract sense, it is the consideration that the free choice of consumers should strongly orient the choice of manufacturers what to produce and how, and therefore orient the economic organization of the society. In this sense, consumerism expresses the idea not of “one man = one voice”, but of “one dollar = one voice”, which may or may not reflect the contribution of people to society.
