SUNDAY 17 JUNE
*** Amsterdam Forum ***
On this week's programme: "Are we becoming a society of shopaholics?"
In the West, our societies and economies are geared to ever greater amounts of shopping and the power of consumerism continues to grow. Meanwhile, anti-consumerists are calling for radical action.
The British environmentalist Jonathan Porritt recently declared: "We have become a generation of shopaholics." He believes consumerism is now a lethal disease, destroying us spiritually and jeoardising the planet. So how do we solve this conundrum? Shop more, shop less, shop better? Tune into Amsterdam Forum when we put these issues to our our expert panel.
