Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to question the taken for granted assumptions that underpin a liberal or lay view of consumer empowerment. Particularly the idea that it benefits consumers to have more choice is questioned. The authors suggest the opposite: choice is a disciplinary power and that more and more choice can lead to choice paralysis. |
