What we buy, what we use, what we keep and throw away, what we waste, and what we save: the stuff that surrounds us and flows through our lives is a key indicator of the kinds of lives we're living. To be an affluent twenty-first-century person is to float on a sea of material objects - each with its own history and future.
They may be hidden from our eyes, but in practical global terms, those histories and futures tend to be the most important aspects of the stuff we own.
