Consumerism has defined a whole culture's relationship to itself over the last two decades (Williamson 1986, Orbach 1986). The way we enter and partake of the public sphere is not through the exercise of conventional political relationships but through the relations of consumption. To be excluded from the relations of consumption is to be disenfranchised.
