Abstract

Un exposé de la tentative systématique des affaires de nous transformer en gaspilleurs, endettés et mécontents en permanence, The Waste Makers est le travail pionnier de Vance Packard en 1960 sur la façon dont la croissance rapide des biens de consommation jetables dégradait le caractère environnemental, financier et spirituel de la société américaine. Cet ouvrage a été le premier livre à sonder la commercialisation croissante de la vie américaine - le développement de la consommation pour la consommation. Packard décrit les façons dont les fabricants et les annonceurs persuadent les consommateurs d’acheter des choses dont ils n’ont pas besoin et qu’ils ne savaient pas qu’ils voulaient, y compris le syndrome des deux d’un genre de tout - deux réfrigérateurs dans chaque maison - et les appels à acheter quelque chose parce qu’il est plus cher, ou parce qu’il est peint dans une nouvelle couleur. Le livre a également attiré l’attention sur le concept d’obsolescence programmée, dans lequel une date de décès est intégrée dans les produits afin qu’ils s’usent rapidement et doivent être remplacés. En manipulant le public dans un consumérisme insensé, Packard croyait que les affaires nous rendaient plus gaspilleurs, imprudents et insouciants dans nos habitudes de consommation, qui utilisaient nos ressources naturelles à un rythme alarmant. Un livre prémonitoire qui prédisait la montée de la culture de consommation américaine, cette toute nouvelle édition de The Waste Makers présente une introduction de l’auteur à succès Bill McKibben. Vance Packard (1914-1996) était un journaliste américain, critique social et auteur à succès.

Abstract

The pharmaceutical industry needs a shot in the arm - and not a moment too soon.

Written for those new to industry, as well as for experienced professionals or specialists looking to expand their knowledge, this book is a must-read for business executi
