Hypercapitalism

Hypercapitalism: the modern economy, its values, and how to change them / Larry Gonick & Tim Kasser, 230 pgs.

A wonderful cartoon version of our economic system, the good and the bad.  How does capitalism turn into hypercapitalism and what are the effects?  What does it mean for consumers and workers? How can you combat hypercapitalism? Kudos to the authors for the beautiful feature about libraries that talks about sharing as a way of cutting consumerism. Overall very informative.
