On Saturday the Guardian ran this extract from the book. It focused on the rise and rise of shoplifting. It is a good way to understand our shop
ping habit – they are a more extreme example of the loss of control.
I also spoke at the Compass conference about the book on the same day. Richard Sennett the sociologist helped me with the session. The people who came along had some great comments that really pushed me. One women liked a lot of what I said but argued at the end that she enjoys shopping so much and I shouldn’t say its not good for her. Getting the tone and style of this criticism right is going to be tough.


I love the picture. Book every model in London for a picture like this and disribute the results to the security department of all the luxury stores. At a stroke most of the biggest spenders will be barred from shopping and, without their props, they will cease to be role-models for our young people!
