Would you say you’re a consumer… or a ‘turbo consumer’? If you’re the latter, a new book out this weekÌýmay make for some uncomfortable reading. Its author, Neal Lawson, argues that turbo consumers, alongside the bankers and politicians, need to assume their share of the blame for our current economic malaise.Ìý Shopping journalist, Lucia Van Der Post, and Neal LawsonÌýjoin Jane to debate whether the notiion of ‘shopping 'til you drop’ has really had its day.

‘All Consuming’ by Neal Lawson is published by Penguin Books: ISBN 978-0-141-02941-2
