A term that fuses consumerism as a cultural ideology with capitalism as an economic system, describing a stage where capital accumulation depends entirely on the continuous expansion of consumer desires. In consumerism capitalism, production is no longer about meeting basic needs but about manufacturing artificial needs through advertising, credit, and social pressure. The system produces not only goods but also the very desire for them, creating a feedback loop of want, purchase, discard, and new want. It is the mature form of market society, where every sphere of life—leisure, love, spirituality—is colonised by the logic of consumption.
