Affluenza Exhibition
On the 19th of March the Affluenza Exhibition opens in Clerkenwell London. It should be worth visiting there are a few talks including Oliver James and Neil Boorman. Visit the website here: www.theaffluenzaexhibition.org
Here are my top ten books and things to watch regarding Affluenza:
1. 'The Century of the Self' (documentary) by Adam Curtis)
2. 'The Hidden Persuaders' by Vance Packard
3. 'Status Anxiety' (docu and book) by Alain de Botton
4. 'Affluenza' by Hamilton and Denniss
5. 'Selfish Capitalist' by Oliver James
6. 'Flow' by Mihayli Csikzentmihalyi
7. 'Affluenza' by John De Graff et al
8. 'Slow' by Carl Honore
9. 'Bonfire of the Brands' by Neil Boorman
10. 'How to be Free' by Tom Hodgkinson
This is in no particular order and there are at least 10 more I can think of especially novels by people like George Orwell, Jack Kerouac and F.Scott Fitzgerald!
