Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Subtitled, "The Fate Of Citizens Under Capitalism Triumphant". A piercing looks at how capitalism is consuming U.S. society.

Publisher's description:

Offers a portrait of how adults are infantilised in a global economy that overproduces goods and targets children as consumers in a market where there are never enough shoppers. This title shows how the infantilist ethos deprives society of responsible citizens and displaces public goods with private commodities.
