A startling revelation of planned wastefulness and obsolescence in industry today.

An eye-opener on the disaster the world is heading to as a result of overproduction to fill the ever-widening hole caused by the planned obsolescence of consumer 'durables', the worship of consumerism, the encouragement of waste, the temptations to buy on credit (even children are being exhorted to take advantage of credit cards), the exaltation of self-indulgence, phoney 'price-cuts', 'sales prices', 'special discounts', etc. 

First edition 1960 by Longmans, Green and Co, London and New York. Condition: Good. Foxing on top of book block. Some wear and tear at edges.
