Chapter 5: Shopping With the Lonely Crowd Chapter 6: The Overworked Consumer ReferencesReviewsIn the Overworked Consumer Chris Andrews deploys a number of cutting-edge concepts and theories to frame and inform an interesting and well-written case study of the supermarket, its workers, and those who consume in it. He focuses on a new frontier of consumption in which consumers are overworked...and unpaid...and, as the producers of their own consumption, transformed into 'prosumers.' Andrews ably explores many of the implications of this rapidly changing new world that encompasses and more seamlessly integrates work and consumption.--George Ritzer, University of Maryland Author InformationChristopher K.
