(Original recording made in 2001)
At least 25 years ago we were consuming 25% of the world's
resources, today it could be more. In 2001, I spoke to John De Graaf about his book "Affluenza." De Graaf is also a documentary filmmaker and his film "Affluenza" was a special program on PBS. Our overconsumption was a pressing concern in 2001 and it is even more so now. Is there a
cure for "Affluenza"? We can hope. This interview still feels fresh and timely because our overconsumption has not been curtailed.
