Politics, Products, And Markets Exploring Political Consumerism Past And Present

Political consumerism means that the politics is a product; as such, it can the marketed to consumers (voters). Individuals and institutions use the market to develop political issues, create a sense of responsibility, control uncertainty, and encourage people to solve common problems on the basis of attitudes and values. These may concern issues of personal and family well-being as well as ethical or political assessments of favorable and unfavorable business and government practices. Political consumerism is thus reflected in a complex social and normative context that we call politics.Føllesdal, Andreas is the author of 'Politics, Products, And Markets Exploring Political Consumerism Past And Present', published 2006 under ISBN 9781412805520 and ISBN 141280552X.
