- W2003223600 abstract "Two narratives bound our era and, by degrees but unmistakably, our pre dicament: the story of consumerism and the story of globalization. In recent years, the two have combined to produce a single and singularly corrosive nar rative. Consumerism has meant the transformation of citizens into shoppers, eroding America's sovereignty from within; globalization has meant the trans formation of nation-states into secondary players on the world stage, eroding America's sovereignty from without. In collaboration, the trends are dealing a ruinous blow to democracy?to our capacity for common judgment, citizenship, and liberty itself. The common thread that winds through these two stories is the erosion of national autonomy?and, with it, the state's monopoly over violence, the power to enact binding laws, and other essential aspects of sovereignty. Sovereignty, in turn, is an obvious precondition for democracy (which you cannot have without a state). When the sovereign state erodes, democracy erodes. It is that simple? and, beset from within and without, it is happening even today. There is, to begin with, an accelerating process of internal disintegration? and the engine, consumerism, that drives it. Critics such as David Riesman, Theodor Adorno, and Jean Baudrillard have been writing about conspicuous consumption, keeping up with the Joneses, outer-directed men in gray flannel suits, the dialectic of enlightenment and one-dimensional men since the end of" @default.
