An Konsumismo iyo an sarong social asin economic order na kun saen an mga aspirations kan dakol na indibidwal kabali an acquisition nin mga produkto asin mga serbisyo na dai man kaipohan para sa survival o traditional displays nin status.Stearns, Peter. Consumerism in World History. Routledge  Luminataw iyan sa Solnopan na Europa bago an Industrial Revolution asin nagin lakop kaidtong dekada 1900. In economics, consumerism refers to policies that emphasize consumption. It is the consideration that the free choice of consumers should strongly inform the choice by manufacturers of what is produced and how, and therefore influence the economic organization of a society.

Krinitiko an konsumismo kan mga indibidwal na puminili nin ibang paagi sa pagpartisipar sa ekonomiya (i.e. pagpili sa simpleng pamumuhay o slow living) asin mga environmentalists na igwa nin pagmakulog sa saiyag impact sa planeta. Experts often assert that consumerism has physical limits, siring kan growth imperative asin overconsumption, na igwa nin dakulang impacts sa kapalibotan. Kabali digdi an mga direktang epekto siring kan overexploitation kan natural resources o dakulang amounts kan waste gikan sa disposable goods asin mga signipikanteng epekto siring kan climate change. Similarly, some research and criticism focuses on the sociological effects of consumerism, such as reinforcement of class barriers and creation of inequalities.
