Special Issue on Consumption and Consumerism

It is recognizing an important fact that we all consume and we always will. With the development of economic globalization, consumerism is gradually spread to every corner of the world. Consumerism shapes our wants, desires, and longings in such a way to acquire material goods. The idea is not simply that wellbeing depends on a standard of living some threshold, but that at the center of happiness is consumption and material possessions. The unreasonable consumption patterns should be corrected by means of sciences and policies. It is great important to carry out the civilized, scientific and sustainable consumption mode.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring consumption and consumerism. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Consumerist culture
