"The desire to consume is a kind of lust.  We long to have the world 
flow through us like air or food.  We are thirsty and hungry for
something that can only be carried inside bodies.  But consumer goods
merely bait this lust, they do not satisfy it.  The consumer of
commodities is invited to a meal without passion, a consumption
that leads to neither satiation nor fire.  He is a stranger
seduced into feeding on the drippings of someone else's capital
without benefit of its inner nourishment, and he is hungry at the
end of the meal, depressed and weary as we all feel when lust has
dragged us from the house and led us to nothing."
		- Lewis Hyde, "The Gift"
