A ideia inicial era ler a tese em modo rápido e focar a atenção num ponto ou outro. Contudo, rapidamente fui conquistado e optei por uma leitura lenta. Estes trechos remetem para uns números curiosos:

This rise of affluence combined with social and cultural changes has influenced what type of products, economic offerings, are being produced and consumed.

The other major shift, then, is the move towards experientially orientated consumption. Due to the widespread growth in prosperity combined with falling prices on such necessities as food and clothing, consumers have increasingly been able to afford to change their priorities on what they buy. Experiential consumption is a result of a new market arising due to the large number of consumers who now are able and willing to put money on the table when wanting to have fun and feel good.

From 1958 to 2007 the average yearly spending for a Norwegian household increased threefold. The spending for such necessities as food and clothing has fallen sharply. An average household is today spending 11% on food compared to 40% in 1958. Likewise, 5% is used on clothes and shoes, and that is less than half of what was spent on such items in 1958."
