Summary
Citizens are asked to buy goods of all sizes and all prices, nearly of all the time. Yet appeals to political decision-making are less common. In 'The Consumer Citizen', Ethan Porter draws on more than a dozen original studies to investigate how the techniques of everyday consumer experiences can shape political behavior. Indeed, Porter explains how citizens approach government as if it were just an ordinary firm - and that consumer habits can affect citizens' attitudes about their government, their taxes, their politicians, ans even whether they purchase government-sponsored health insurance. 'The Consumer Citizen' offers a novel answer to the question of how Americans make sense of the political world : by relying on the habits and tools that they learn as consumers."
