In economics, consumerism refers to economic policies placing emphasis on consumption. In an abstract sense, it is the consideration that the free choice of consumers should strongly orient the choice what is produced and how, therefore the economic organization of a society (compare producerism, especially in the British sense of the term).[3] Also this vote is not "one man, one voice", but "one dollar, one voice", which may or may not reflect the contribution of people to society.
