The average American spends 6 hours a week shopping but only 40 minutes a week playing with their children. John de Graaf says these are the symptoms of a malaise called affluenza. De Graaf is one of the people behind a movie, a book and a website exploring the culture of overconsumption.
This podcast is one of a series on the theme of shopping and consumerism.
