Oh yeah that’s a great read. Vance Packard really hit on something visceral because he wasn’t just complaining about junk but was instead dissecting the intentional psychological and economic engineering of a throwaway culture. Framing the whole post-war American economy as a sort of runaway train where the only way to keep the wheels turning is to force people to buy things they don’t need with money they don’t have is a really valuable insight in my opinion.
