Brett Graff (The Home Economist & Author of Not Buying It)
Brett Graff addresses the issue or materialism in the United States and points to research that states that buying things can be a coping strategy to deal with unmet emotional needs. According to Graff, the purchase of expensive goods can make people feel valuable on a temporary basis but many times will lead to feeling anxious, unhappy, and unsatisfied.
