‘creative destruction’. At the same time, the market for these goods relies on
an expanding consumer demand, driven by a complex social logic.

and giving our feelings for each other, our hopes for our family, and our
dreams of the good life. This is not to deny that material goods are essential
for our basic needs: food, shelter, protection. On the contrary, this role is critical
to our physiological flourishing: health, life expectancy, vitality.
