Société de consommation

Book •
La Société de Consommation (The Consumer Society) is a critical analysis of consumerism in post-World War II society.

Baudrillard examines how consumer culture shapes individual identity and social structures.

He argues that consumption is no longer simply about satisfying needs but has become a system of signs and symbols that create meaning and status.

Baudrillard explores how advertising, media, and fashion contribute to the construction of a hyperreality where commodities are fetishized and individuals are alienated from their true desires.

The book offers a critique of modern capitalism and its impact on culture and human experience.
