Preferred term

anti-consumerism  

Definition

  • Historically, consumerism and its antithesis, anticonsumerism, have fallen under a variety of descriptions in different times, regions, and as part of various cultures. Defining anti-consumerism can be a somewhat thorny task because it can be difficult to establish just what consumerism is. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Anti-Consumerism]
