Summary
David Boshart: Cheap!?
How the desire for discounts changes the economy and society
In his book Cheap!? David Boshart talks about the trend of cheapness that he observes in a wider context and in it he recognizes the basic attitude of man in a time when everything he can have is immediately available.
Analyzing the economic aspects of this topic and the factors that accelerate the trend of cheapness, the author offers many concrete examples that illustrate economic trends and changes in consumer behavior. The author questions where the trend of cheapness is leading us and shows that the path to a post-industrial society is a delusion until we are ready to pay the price of that path.
