Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.

This episode explores The Story of Stuff by Annie Leonard as a systems-level analysis of the modern materials economy. Rather than framing environmental collapse as the result of individual consumer choices, the book reveals how extraction, production, consumption, and disposal are structurally linked in a linear system that depends on ecological destruction and social exploitation.

By tracing everyday objects from resource extraction to landfill, the text shows how planned obsolescence, aggressive advertising, and externalized costs lock societies into perpetual growth on a finite planet. The result is not only environmental damage, but a narrowing of identity — from citizen to consumer.

This episode treats The Story of Stuff as a systems narrative — examining how harm is normalized, responsibility is diffused, and unsustainable practices are made to feel inevitable.
