Advertising in public areas as major income resource for local governments. 231 I MATERIALISTIC VALUES: THEIR CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCESconsequences of focus on materialistic values, “For example, studies show that materialistic values are associated with lower generosity (Kasser, 2005), as well as fewer prosocial (Sheldon and Kasser, 1995; McHoskey, 1999) and more anti-social activities such as cheating and petty theft (Kasser and Ryan, 1993; Cohen and Cohen, 1996; McHoskey, 1999). The importance placed on goals for financial success is also associated with greater disagreeableness (Roberts and Robins, 2000), lower empathy (Sheldon and Kasser, 1995), more Machiavellian tendencies (McHoskey, 1999), and more racial prejudice (Duriez, Vansteenkiste, Soenens, and DeWitte, 2005). Social dilemma research also shows that those who have taken on the values of ACC treat others in more competitive and less cooperative ways (Sheldon and McGregor, 2000; Sheldon, Sheldon, and Osbaldiston, 2000) and share less (Kasser, 2005).” 10 Persons with ACC less concerned with Earths ecological health. Good relations key feature to psychological health, both quantity and quality but ACC affects both. Objectification of relationships. “For example, Kasser and Ryan (2001) reported that individuals more focused on extrinsic goals for financial success, image, and popularity reported shorter, more conflictual relationships with their friends and lovers. Similarly, Solberg, Diener, and Robinson (2004; Study 12) had three friends and/or family members complete a survey about the quality of their relationship with each study participant; these significant others reported lower quality relationships with participants who scored high in materialism. As described above, other research shows that people oriented towards materialistic values are less empathic (Sheldon and Kasser, 1995), more Machiavellian (McHoskey, 1999), and less cooperative (Sheldon et al., 2000), all of which conduce towards objectification and interfere with quality interpersonal relationships.” 11 consumer culture compared to religion See PROSPERITY WITHOUT GROWTH on sacred canopy. 12 exposure to materialist models and values 17 ACC aims conflict with individual and collective well-being 18 I ARBETSSAMHÄLLET – HUR ARBETET ÖVERLEVDE TEKNOLOGIN Nor the punishment of God nor necessity (the fortunate ones at least) is forcing human being to work but human beings themselves. Advertising and governmental stimulus helps to avoid the crises of overproduction 16 I PROSPERITY WITHOUT GROWTH “Culture shapes and constrains our lives. When things are working well, social structures are properly aligned with collective values and provide a cultural framework within which people can flourish, allowing us to live meaningful, purposive lives. When things go badly, institutional structures wage war on human values, undermining prosperity and damaging society.” "And it draws support from a long succession of insights into the human condition from religion, from philosophers, from wisdom traditions, from poetry, from literature and from art: we are not and never were entirely the selfish hedonists that conventional economics expects and needs us to be. A simple and yet ferociously destructive misconception of human nature lies at the heart of modern capitalism." 151 Consumer capitalism is eroding commitment devices. Consumer culture reinforced by government 206 Systematically dismantle consumerism and “dismantling these complex incentive structures requires a systematic attention to the myriad ways in which they were constructed, and are continually re-constructed.” 212 “We must nurture and support non-consumerist ways of understanding and being in the world. These ways can draw on a variety of traditions that have always opposed consumerism. They will in turn be strengthened by a retreat from market-driven growth, which inevitably inculcates values, beliefs and ways of being that favour success in the market environment." Offer alternatives to consumerism. "Progress depends on building the capabilities for people to flourish in less materialistic ways." 214
