The Overspent American: Why We Want What We Don't Need The question ‘why we want what we do not need’ is discussed by Juliet Schor very clearly. From the lectures by Juliet Schor, I get the information that from the 1970s the work hours had increased rapidly i.e. 200 more hours per year (Consumer Protection Hub, 2022). The graph of the labor hours captured that comfort is no longer enough people want luxury as shown in below Before the 1970s people prefer leisure time, there was a leisure society but now people want luxury, try to leads their lifestyles expensively. There plays a cycle of work and spending. A long hour of work tends to higher income for employees and people are spending those incomes rapidly.
