Consumption and the Crisis of Values: Can We Be Lucky?

Summary/Abstract: Consumption patterns create their own time and culture. Culture is not what we do, but rather how we act: from thousands of possible variants we choose and act out that single one which produces time, because this will be the only one which will take place in real time. Consumption represents the struggle of modern man, who is cornered by time, for freedom and survival. Preindustrial man did not have to struggle, because he was not threatened by the finitude of modern temporality, and that is why he can be considered “rich” and “lucky”.
