Richard Denniss, chief economist at The Australia Institute, co-authored the book: Affluenza: When Too Much is Never Enough. Mr Denniss said Australians have a love affair with overconsumption and spending for spending’s sake.

Rachel Botsman co-authored What’s Mine is Yours: How Collaborative Consumption is Changing the Way We Live and recommends savers look at social networks to swap, trade, rent and barter for goods.
