Quotes by Daniel Miller  (?)

“By ‘consumer society’, I mean one in which commodities are increasingly used to express the core values of that society but also become the principal form through which people come to see, recognise and understand those values.”
Daniel Miller, Consumption and Its Consequences

“Pogosto je tako. Teorija, filozofija, moderna umetnost, ekonomika in druga gibanja, ki uporabljajo obskurne abstrakcije, se lahko zlahka izrodijo v domišljave nebuloze in postajajo kruti peskovniki akademskih div in elit, ki so vajene tako navduševati kakor tudi ustrahovati.”
Daniel Miller, Stuff

“from the beginnings of history, we have used the critique of consumption to confirm ourselves as essentially good and moral beings. Once upon a more religious time it was common to translate this into an actual asceticism, and I still think it gives us reason to lash out against a consumption we can’t seem to control even in ourselves.”
Daniel Miller, Consumption and Its Consequences
