Consumption, Status, and Sustainability

Ecological and Anthropological Perspectives Paul Roscoe | University of Maine, Augusta With concern about sustainability growing, this book focuses on the impact of status competition on growing global consumption levels. It examines how a stronger understanding of the relationships between status, consumption, and other status pursuits across time and cultural difference might help bend the curve toward a sustainable future. • Looks across culture, geography, and time to examine the widely variable ways that humans pursue status and the particular relationship between status and consumption • Identifies a wide range of variables that mediate the relationship between status and consumption (e.g. religion, ethnicity, population size, economic form, the distribution of power, division of labor) • Points to the central importance of attending to societal structures and cultural difference for both understanding and reimagining the links between consumption and status
