work-and-spend cycle  

Définition

  • The work-and-spend cycle is a phenomenon in which people in affluent nations remain trapped in a pattern of long hours of work and increasing consumption spending that fails to generate lasting improvements in well-being and plays a major role in ecological degradation. For the originator of the concept, economist and sociologist Juliet Schor, it is not only a matter of the tightening grip of consumerism on culture and consciousness.
