Symbolic goods, Social identity, Media consumptionAbstract
This paper explores the concept of symbolic goods and their impact on society. Symbolic goods are goods that have value beyond their intrinsic worth, such as art, fashion, and music. The author argues that symbolic goods play a significant role in shaping our identity and social standing. They can also be used to reinforce social hierarchies and create divisions between groups.References
