This book examines modern consumption, focusing on concepts of autonomy and rationality. In recent years, conventional ideas of &apos free will&apos have come under attack in the context of consumer choice and similarly, postmodernists have sabotaged the very notion of consumer rationality. O&apos Shaughnessy and O&apos Shaughnessy adopt a moderating perspective, reviewing and critiquing these attacks in order to work towards a more nuanced view of the consumer: neither entirely autonomous nor perfectly rational.While the first part of this book concentrates on assailing critiques of &apos free-will&apos , the second part takes issue with the postmodernist emphasis on the non-rational. The authors situate these critiques in the context of key academic debate, examining the logic and empirical bases for their claims thus leading to a deeper understanding of &apos bounded&apos rationality and the potential of the adaptive unconscious to affect consumer choice.
