Consumerism Quote by Ivan Illich
““The first enslaving illusion is the idea that people are born to be consumers and that they can attain any of their goals by purchasing goods and services…What people do or make but will not or cannot put up for sale is as immeasurable and as invaluable for the economy as the oxygen they breathe.””
![“[..] the innate tendency of a society of consumers to instil in their members a willingness to accord other people the same - and no more - respect as they are trained to feel and to show to consumer goods, the objects designed and destined for instantaneous, and possibly untroubled satisfaction…” quote by Zygmunt Bauman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/add/zygmunt-bauman-1861_community_the-innate-tendency-of-a-society-of-cons_3183996.jpg)
