How does consumer society turn us into things and destroy our mental health? In its extreme form, capitalism takes on a model of social relations that has been described as the theory of consumer society. When money and material values become the primary focus of development, moral values, ethics, and culture deteriorate. New negative manifestations—such as declining divorce rates, commercialism, and successful success—become a logical consequence. The capitalist system has advantages for economic development, scientific and technological progress, job growth, and a higher standard of living, but we pay a price in mental health. Financial dissatisfaction, toxic productivity, and burnout become the main symptoms. Sincere and pure relationships between people have become a rarity.
