Not Buying It Judith Levine Book
by Judith Levine

What would happen if you gave up buying anything but total necessities for a year? No clothes, no books, no movies, no new technology. Not even presents for other people. The author and her partner did just that and she writes of their experiences and their difficulties and about what consumerism means in todays world.

This is subject I closely value. I actually believe in a world without money; I think it would be much better for all of us. As it is, money mostly serves the top, and the rest of us work hard for that to happen, with very little benefit to ourselves.

We've been conditioned to buy, and we are addicted to it. I know that I am. But I'm in love with the idea of needing less. There are times when I desperately want more money but then I catch myself and realize that I have everything I need and more. So, thanks to your post, I will find this book at my library and read it.
