Today our aspirations run to accumulation: real estate, 401(k)s, college degrees, wealth. Everything else is simply of the moment, purchased with plastic, disposable and almost always made by someone overseas. Products for a Happy Life does not aim to reject commercial society. Rather, the book seeks to "untake" for granted some of its simplest, most elegant and most functional items: a hefty pair of scissors, a hammer with a hickory handle, a cotton T-shirt. |
