Paradoxes Of The Service Economy And The Role Of The State In Strategic Management Of Their Effects

摘要

The traps of the service economy related to the very nature of non-material services is the major reason for the rise of a mass consumption society, which is very advantageous for service providers and results in increasing dependence of the society, both financial and psychological, on the service sector. "Consumption for consumption's sake"-is the main slogan of service consumers who put their interests first even when this might have serious consequences for the environment. A challenge for the state in this respect is to make the process of consumption more rational and less harmful for natural resources and the environment.
