It changed my life!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Twenty years on I remember this book well. I read it in the early eighties. The word pictures the book painted of previously happy people madly desiring encyclopaedias; and happy haitian locals relaxing on the beach while northerners slaved away working has been with me ever since. I remember reading sections twice because it was such an eye opener to me. I had never heard of cargo culture before. A great read. Every shopaholic should read it! For me it was like discovering body language or seeing myself in a mirror for the first time. Never again would I be taken for a ride by a salesman. Now that I have nothing I am happy and I understand why. Highly recommended. Thanks Eugene.
