About this episode
Michael Talks with J.B. MacKinnon all about his new book, The Day The World Stops Shopping. They discuss what the world looks like when we slow our spending and drastically reduce our consumption - including how our products change and how we ourselves change. J.B. talks about conspicuous versus inconspicuous consumption, voluntary simplicity, and how the economy fairs in a lower-consuming world. They touch on why taking the long view matters in business, and J.B. gives advice on how you can start consuming less.
