How Much is Enough?

It is a good first book to get introduced to the ideas of overconsumption and how that affects the earth. Although written in 1992 it is still as relevant today as it was over 30 years ago. This book will not solve generational problems but will give the reader a base context for emerging trends and see how, historically, our ideologies shaped our consumption habits on an individual level. Although the main idea of this book which states that overconsumption stems from human greed might be up for debate, it surely emphasises the idea that we are being raised in a society with a greedy system where the rich stay rich and the poor remain poor. If anything, this book proves that 30 years has made an enormous difference in our consumption habits; and not in a good way.
