Consumerism - Fauxlosophers Episode 150

Many in our society decry its rampant consumerism that destroys the environment, further impoverishes people attempting to appear wealthy, and funnels money to the rich who exploit it. But what is consumerism really? Why is it that we are so upset at ourselves for wanting things? Is there a good reason to hate it, or is it actually good for us? Additionally, we'll discuss one weird trick you can use to get out of paying your debts... so long as you don't care about your credit score.
