THE DAY THE WORLD STOPS SHOPPING
THE DAY THE WORLD STOPPED SHOPPING intends to conduct a varied and probing investigation of the ever-expanding cycle of acquisitive demand that keeps the economies of the world churning at alarming, unsustainable rates. We can't stop shopping and yet we must stop shopping, as Mackinnon succinctly frames the core dilemma the inhabitants of this planet face. The global dilemma is easy to shrink down to the personal level as James will demonstrate by thinking through the tiers of consequence if the consumer carousel were to halt, abruptly. Would such an event represent an unchecked calamity? Or could we derive some (painful) benefits from a re-orientation of our generally thoughtless drive towards more?
J.B. MacKinnon is a freelance journalist and the author or coauthor of four books of nonfiction. His latest, The Once and Future World, is a national bestseller in Canada and won the U.S. Green Prize for Sustainable Literature. Previous works are The 100-Mile Diet (with Alisa Smith), a bestseller widely recognized as a catalyst of the local foods movement. MacKinnon is currently a contributor to The New Yorker on consumer issues and ecology. His work also appears in publications ranging from National Geographic and Reader's Digest to vanguard outlets such as Adbusters and Nautilus. He has won more than a dozen national and international writing awards in categories as varied as essays, science writing, and travelogue. MacKinnon is an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.
