- This paper strives for a conceptualization of sustainability, design and contemporary consumption. By sketching out how effective production systems have created an abundance of products, the paper links this development to the aestheticization of society and an increased interest in design. In market economies characterized by profusion, corporations engage in activities filling their offerings with aura, aesthetics, symbols and meaning. In such lands of plenty, conspicuous consumption becomes a thoroughly expressive activity and highly problematic for actors with ambitions to design a sustainable future. Our conclusion is that sustainability must ultimately be seen as intertwined with social processes such as fashion, identity and identity construction.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Among institutional economists, Gunnar Myrdal is cited for his argument that values are always with us in social science research and K. William Kapp for his early study of 'the social costs of private enterprise'. In relation to environmental issues, a corporation could either ignore them following a business as usual strategy, modify its activities or radically reconsider its mission and practice. Models of organizations are discussed such as the Political Economic Organization which opens the door for a serious consideration of how the company can adapt to environmental issues. Environmental Management Systems is presented as a case of institutional change.
