Marketers are trying t o meet contemporary market trends, such as overconsumption and sustainable consumption, that stand in opposition to each other. The article presents a review of the literature and the results of the research, conducted with the help of a questionnaire, regarding issues of contemporary consumer trends, such as overconsumption and deconsumption. An attempt was made to assess whether the behaviours of Polish consumers are a part of sustainable and responsible consumption trend, which has become increasingly noticeable in many developed market economies. The results of the study indicate that it is impossible to state clearly that Polish consumers do not consume in a sustainable way, although many of their behaviours indicate overconsumption. However, their behaviour in the market in some areas is consistent with the idea of deconsumption

Obecnie marketerzy starają się sprostać współ- czesnym trendom rynkowym, takim jak konsumpcjonizm i konsumpcja zrównoważona, które stoją do siebie w opozycji. Z jednej strony podtrzymują oni wysoki poziom konsumpcji i pobudzają konsumentów do kompulsywnych zakupów. Z drugiej strony są zmuszeni wziąć pod uwagę wzrost wymagań stawianych przez konsumentów, który oczekują, że produkt dostarczy im etycznej korzyści dodatkowej, a także zmieniają swój sposób konsumpcji albo nawet ją ograniczają, chcąc uczynić bardziej zrównoważoną oraz etyczną. W artykule przedstawiono przegląd literatury przedmiotu oraz wyniki badań pierwotnych przeprowadzonych przy użyciu kwestionariusza ankiety. Dotyczyły one problematyki współ- czesnych trendów konsumenckich, jakimi są konsumpcjonizm i dekonsumpcja. Podjęto próbę oceny, czy zachowania polskich konsumentów wpisują się w nurt konsumpcji zrównoważonej i odpowiedzialnej, który staje się coraz bardziej zauważalny w wielu rozwiniętych gospodarkach rynkowych. Rezultaty badań wskazują, że nie można jednoznacznie stwierdzić, że polscy konsumenci nie konsumują w sposób zrównoważony, choć wiele ich zachowań na to wskazuje. W pewnych obszarach ich postępowanie na rynku jest zgodne z ideą dekonsumpcji.

Frédéric Beigbeder, French writer, takes a sarcastic and uncomfortable look at the future of the immediately contemporary world. His narrative technique, his bold, provocative and innovative style, the figure of his protagonist who looks much more like an antihero, create a literature voluntarily disengaged from explicit political discussion, to the benefit of the intimate and the anecdotal, where contemporary French society is carefully scrutinized. Our study therefore consists of an analysis of Beigbeder’s works with the purpose of bringing out their civilizational and societal notions and exposing the ambiguity of the society of our time and its oppression of the human being, described in all its truth, with its baseness, malaise, and solitary but deeply greedy and absurd nature.

Thomas Young (2001) argues that overconsumption and procreation are morally equivalent, and thus that anyone who disapproves of overconsumption must arrive at the same normative judgment concerning procreation (or procreation beyond a certain threshold). Young presents an analogical argument in support of his claim, and defends it against four varieties of objections intended to show that the analogy is weak or faulty. I argue that Young’s defense of his argument fails, and that though a stronger case can be made for his claim of moral equivalence between procreation and overconsumption, a full defense of the claim would unfortunately require a moral theory that we presently do not have (namely, Derek Parfit’s Theory X, the theory of beneficence that would tell us how many people there should be). This is unfortunate because in the absence of successful rational grounds for such a claim concerning the moral value (or disvalue) of procreation relative to resource consumption, we are likely to overlook or misjudge the moral and other costs of population growth.
