292 Affluenza- The Disease Of Wealth

from Truth Untangled · host Bob Anders, Ph.D.

The term "affluenza" has become popular in both academic and everyday discussions, especially when talking about wealth, consumerism, and mental health. "Affluenza" blends the words "affluence" and "influenza" to describe a social problem where people care too much about money and possessions. Many see it as a modern problem that affects people in rich societies, leading to negative effects on their minds and relationships.
